A minor is usually made up of 4 courses, with at least 1 at 300-level. While the major is the main part of a bachelor's degree, a minor can broaden your knowledge, develop your expertise and allow you to explore an area of interest.
Minors do not appear on your graduation certificate, but they are included in your academic record.
For most bachelor's degrees, completing a minor is optional. Most allow you to complete a minor from another degree.
