  Minors  
 

The College of Arts and Sciences offers about 50 minors, which students can choose to do to compliment their major or to explore an entirely different area than their major. A full list of minors, as well as the curriculum for each minor, is available in the Undergraduate Catalog. The process to declare a minor is similar as that of declaring a major in that students fill out a petition and get it signed by a faculty advisor in the minor program; then they bring the petition for final action to the CEA (One ME). Progress toward completion of the minor will be reviewed during the graduation clearance interview and the minor will be indicated on the student's transcript after the student has completed the minor program and has received his or her degree. Students who wish to design their own minor or do a minor may propose an independent minor, and students who wish to do a minor in another college petition to that college.
