If you’re looking to add a minor to your degree, read more about the options here. Earning a minor serves as a second area of specialization for you. It appears on your diploma and you can reference it on your resume and LinkedIn Profile. To earn a minor, you first need to talk to the minor’s respective coordinator and fill out paperwork to begin the minor, complete 12 credit hours of classes approved for that minor, and complete other paperwork during your last semester to receive the minor on your diploma.
