Undergraduate Minors

Adding an undergraduate minor to your major program of study broadens your perspective and increases your value to future employers by allowing you to specialize in areas of study. The School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences offers five undergraduate minors. 

You’ll typically take six to seven classes in your chosen subject area to complete your minor.
