Minors

A minor in the right area can enhance an already existing major and give you a broader skill set. With the right combination of a major and minor, you’ll be more marketable and attractive to potential employers. For example, if your major is resource recreation and tourism and you earn a minor in parks, protected areas, and wilderness conservation, you’ll be well equipped with the skills and field experience needed to build a career as a leader in one of our national parks.
