Minors
Enhance Your Knowledge
While majors provide in-depth knowledge and sophistication in a defined field of study, minors offer students a chance to use available electives to satisfy personal intellectual curiosities in supplemental areas. A liberal arts minor is a great way to gain skills related to a chosen career. Minors, which are roughly half the credit hours of a major, are not required for graduation. However, many LAS students elect one in order to enhance their educational experience.
The following is a list of minors offered directly through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
