Minors
Minors at Minerva allow you to explore new disciplines, deepen your interests, and apply your learning across fields and contexts.
Minors give you the flexibility to explore a discipline outside your major while continuing to build the core skills developed throughout your degree. You can:
Complement your major with a new perspective
Explore interdisciplinary interests
Apply your learning across different fields
Minors are integrated into your elective coursework, allowing you to shape your academic path without extending your time to degree.
In addition to interdisciplinary options, you can pursue minors within Minerva’s academic colleges, building depth in a specific field while continuing to apply your learning across contexts.
