A minor is a formal program of six or seven courses in a particular field, leading to a designation of a minor on the graduating student's transcript. Business-related minors include Computer Information Systems, Creative Studies, Planning, Political Science, Public Administration, and Urban Studies. An English minor can enhance a student's writing skills.
Concentrations can build career credentials in particular areas of interest.
For example, a student preparing for a career in financial public relations might take courses in business and economics, or a student wishing to become an environmental reporter might take specialized science courses.
