Students in a bachelor's degree program can develop additional skills by pursuing a minor in a second area of study. Minors are groups of five courses in select subject areas that can fulfill part of the elective requirements in a bachelor's degree program. For any minor course that also appears in the student’s major or concentration areas, an equivalent course must be substituted and taken in its place to fulfill the minor requirement. To be eligible for the minor, no more than two courses may overlap between the minor, major, and concentration areas. Students must declare a minor as soon as possible after enrolling in their program and no later than the beginning of their last term of enrollment. Minors cannot be added to a student’s curriculum after their degree has been conferred.
