Undergraduate students who enter college as freshmen, with the exception of those majoring in one of seven "double majors,"” are expected to complete a minor as well as a major. These minors — generally fifteen to eighteen credits for their completion — afford students an opportunity to study in some depth a field other than their major, thereby at once broadening their academic experience while assisting them to see their major field in better perspective.
