Optional Minors (AS)

Minors are optional both on the part of faculty and students; no department or group of faculty members is required to offer a minor and no student can be required to elect a minor.

Pursuit of a minor, whether departmental or interdisciplinary, may provide a student with more coherence and focus in choosing electives. This may well enhance the educational experience, particularly when the minor is chosen from a division other than that of the major or when the minor is interdisciplinary.

Optional minors are available to regular undergraduate students in each of the areas listed below. Details of the requirements for each minor are listed on the indicated pages.


More information on minors is available under Academic Standards & Policies.
