Declaring a Minor
If you plan to pursue a minor, you should declare the minor with the Registrar's Office. By declaring the minor, you will be able to receive regular updates from the director about events, courses that can be applied to the minor, and any changes in requirements or policies. Declaring early will help you avoid any problems that may arise prior to graduation.
How to Declare a Minor
