Everybody knows you have to declare a major in college—your major is what you get your degree in. But what exactly is a minor?
A minor is an optional program of study built around a particular subject or skill, for example, nonprofit management or museum studies.
Minors can be helpful in two ways: You can focus your degree by choosing a minor related to your major or you can broaden your degree by taking an unrelated but complementary minor (for example, a business student taking a computing minor). Your minor will also show up on your transcripts.
UW Tacoma also offers several certificate programs that are open to current students or can be taken as a nonmatriculated student.
