Minors
Minors
In addition to a major, students have the opportunity to select a "minor." A minor consists of a coherent group of courses defined by a department or an interdepartmental program. Minors are either a limited version of a major, a more specialized subset of a particular field of study, or a structured opportunity to explore areas of study that are interdisciplinary in scope. Completion of the requirements of a minor is noted on a student's transcript. Students must declare their participation in minors and are limited to a maximum of three. The specific requirements of the minors may be found with the departmental and interdepartmental listings in this publication.
All minors must be declared before the start of a student's final semester at Brandeis.
