You choose a minor with your advisor's guidance to complement your major and your personal academic goals. You may be required to complete a minor in a field different than your major.
You may use the same course or courses to meet both liberal studies and minor requirements as long as you meet all requirements for the minor.
This minor was designed to provide students with a multidisciplinary understanding of Native American histories, religions, and cultures throughout the past and present.
