Minors

Minors are an excellent option for customizing your degree. We have over two dozen minors to choose from to enhance your knowledge and career prospects! By adding a minor, you can expand your understanding to include another area of study. If you aren’t sure about adding a minor immediately, you can do this after you begin your program by calling or emailing one of our academic advisors.

What makes a minor such an exciting opportunity is that with a few classes, you can demonstrate knowledge and expertise in another area of study. This can help prepare you to pursue positions of added responsibility or open up new opportunities.
