Minors

List of Minors

Although College students are not required to complete a minor, many choose to do so to bring an element of cohesiveness to their electives. Students choose to complete one or more minors to pursue secondary areas of interest, develop skills and a knowledge base that complements their major, express themselves in a creative area that is or will likely become an avocation, or learn more about themselves and/or their heritage.

Minors such as those in foreign languages, mathematics, and computer science may not only be pedagogically sound but also indicate a skill to a prospective employer.

A minor generally requires approximately half the number of courses as the major. Some programs require specific courses for the minor; others do not. There is no limit to the number of courses that may be double-counted between minor and General Education requirements.

These interschool minors allow students to pursue intellectual interests that link various professional disciplines to the arts and sciences. Students interested in interschool minors should pay special attention to policies regarding non-College electives.
