Adding a Minor


Interested in broadening your degree? Adding a minor to your degree is a great way to explore academic interests beyond your major. A minor is a set of courses comprising a secondary focus of interest. It is generally not related to your major. A minor may be required or optional. Minors are not available in all programs.

You can learn more about minors available at the University of Lethbridge here.
