Minors

A Minor is an optional, undergraduate credential. It is a formal, defined set of courses in a declared secondary subject area/field of study, distinct from and outside of the student's degree major, in which knowledge is gained in a coherent pattern of courses.  A minor is intended to supplement the major field of study, and as part of a baccalaureate degree program may only be awarded at the same time the baccalaureate degree is awarded. A minor is posted to the official transcript, but does not print on the diploma.
