Minors

Many students look to diversify their skills and also complement their major.

Many times a minor is the perfect way to do that. Minors are 15 credits. Most studio departments offer a minor to students from other departments. Students should consult the department chair of the department they wish to minor in or an Academic Advisor for specific information.
