Getting a Minor

Coming to a large university like NC State, it’s easy to find a lot of things you are interested in, and declaring a minor is a great way to explore these interests. Most minors only require approximately 18 credit hours or fewer, and are an excellent way to get a well-rounded education. The NC State website has a great link that outlines all of the minors and who to contact about your minor of interest: http://www.ncsu.edu/advising_central/minors.html. Once you decide on a minor you’d like to declare, all you need to do is set up a time to see that minor’s contact person, and they will help you declare your minor!

Minors are a great way to focus your interests here at State. With correct planning you can gain a minor and still be able to graduate on time. You can minor within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences or outside in a different college, such as the College of Humanities. There is no limit to the amount of minors you can receive. Each minor requires a certain set of additional classes, some minors more than others. Talking with your advisor can help you correlate your classes.
