Minors
UAS provides minors to complement our bachelor degrees. Requirements may differ slightly among minors; however, each has a minimum of 15 or more credits. 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 a major and the minor, a student may use the course to meet both requirements but will not receive double credit.
