Undergraduate Minors
Any student seeking a baccalaureate degree may take one or more approved academic University minors outside the student’s major department. The student should declare the minor with the appropriate department and inform the graduation office at the time the student applies for graduation. A minor is an attribute to a degree and not an entity by itself. The University minor can be received only at the same time the student graduates with a major. In order to receive a teaching minor, the student must graduate with a teaching major at the same time.
