What is a minor in college?
A minor is like a mini-major. Your major is your primary area of study and a minor
allows you to pursue another discipline, add training that supports your major, or
explore personal interests. A minor is noted on your official UND transcript and adds
another layer of professional knowledge to your degree.
You do not have to have a minor in college, although certain majors may require a
minor. Your minor must be combined with a major/degree program. Like majors, minors
must be declared and have special requirements like mandatory classes.
Consult with your academic advisor if you are interested in adding a minor to your
major. They will ensure you can fit a minor into your schedule without interfering
with your major requirements.
