Minors

Employers are looking for candidates who can offer something special. Why not stand out from the crowd and optimize your career opportunities by choosing 12 to 30 additional credits of study in a second subject you are passionate about, or one that is related to but different from your major.

Why a Minor?

Minors give the opportunity to broaden your knowledge, make your resume different, and become the versatile employee employers want.
