Undergraduate Minor Options
The same discipline may not be used to satisfy the major and the minor (i.e. English major and English minor does not make a degree.) If a course is a requirement of both the major and the minor, a student may use the course to meet both content requirements but will not receive double credit and will need advisor approval for a course substitution. A minimum of six credits must be taken at UAS.
