The Minor

A minor is an academic concentration that students pursue alongside their major field of study, typically requiring fewer courses. It allows students to develop expertise or explore another area of interest without the same depth as a major, often totaling around 15-20 credit hours. Minors can complement a student's main focus, enhance their skill set, or broaden their knowledge, providing additional specialization that can be valuable in their personal and professional lives. Overall, a minor adds depth and versatility to a student’s education with a manageable commitment.
