The College of Arts and Sciences offers students the opportunity to complement the depth of their major field with an interdisciplinary minor or to explore other fields with a departmental minor. 
All minors require at least six courses, some require seven. Minors typically begin with an introductory course or sequence and conclude with either a seminar, senior project, or in the case of departmental minors, an upper-level course that demonstrates the student’s understanding of the field. Students choose the remaining four courses in accord with their interests and consultation with the director of the minor and members of the minor committee. Each interdisciplinary minor must include courses from at least two, but normally no more than three departments.
Students may enroll in two minors but they may not combine a double major and a minor. Courses taken to fulfill minor requirements may not also be counted toward a major, therefore, it is advisable for a student to begin the major by sophomore year in order to ensure its completion. No more than one core-level course taken as part of a minor program may be counted toward college core requirements.
To enroll in a minor a student should consult the program director.
