Integrated Minors
The Honors Integrated Minors provide a structured pathway to completing multiple Honors Degree requirements, built around a common theme and shared with a cohort of peers over the course of multiple semesters. Students from any major may earn the minor by taking interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences over consecutive semesters. Students who successfully complete the Minor will have completed most of the requirements for the Honors Degree. Integrated minors include a 4–6-week summer learning abroad intensive.
