Arts and Sciences Minors
Most major programs in Arts and Sciences also require you to take a minor. A minor insures that you have extra classes, mostly at a higher (junior or senior) level, in an area outside of your primary focus. A minor gives your education greater depth. The exceptions to having a required minor are if you are pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, or a Bachelor of Music degree -- these majors do not need to have a minor.
Your minor should be in a program other than your major. Usually, this means your minor should be in a different department, although in some departments with multiple majors, such as Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work, your minor could be in another major in that department.

New Opportunity - UTeach South
The University of South Alabama is making it easier for undergraduate students pursuing STEM majors – those in science, technology, engineering and mathematics – to earn teacher certification and begin careers in K-12 education.
