To complement and enrich the major, each student takes either a minor or a cluster of contextual and support courses. In some programs, the student may choose between these two approaches, while other programs have a specified requirement. Those who complete a minor take a group of courses from a single discipline other than the primary (major) discipline. Those who complete a contextual and support area take courses outside the major, chosen from several different fields which relate to that discipline. In both instances, the courses increase the student’s breadth and depth of knowledge, and they illustrate the interrelatedness of various types of knowledge. A single course cannot count both in the major and in the minor or the contextual and support area. The student plans the minor or contextual and support area at the time of the declaration of the major, in consultation with his or her faculty advisor.
