Add a Minor with Liberty University
Picking a minor can be just as important as picking a major. Minors can enhance your degree in a variety of ways. Here are some of the things that a minor could do for you:
- Allow you to explore a new topic in a higher education setting
- Expand on your major and increase your knowledge in that subject area
- Provide new content to make you a more marketable professional
While minors are not a requirement, they are an exciting option for undergraduate students. By choosing one of Liberty’s online minors, you can provide yourself with new knowledge, skills, and experiences. Not only can a minor add value to your education — it can also enrich your life.
