Minors and certificates

A variety of minors and certificates are available to supplement your educational program. A minor or a certificate provides expertise in an additional field of study to augment your major. Minors and certificates require fewer credits than a major. Most programs that are available as a major also offer a minor in that discipline. Some departments also offer minors which are very specialized or are not offered as majors. The list below highlights those minors and certificates which are not available as majors. For a full list of programs and information about the requirements for these minors or certificates, follow this link.

Note: Courses taken to complete the Upper Division Cluster requirements may also be used to complete a requirement for a minor or certificate (but not a first major).
