Declaring a minor is one of those concepts where most people probably think to themselves, \u201cWhat\u2019s the point?\u201d I encourage everyone to find a minor that enhances your major because you will get SO much out of it! The School of Liberal Arts offers FIT students the opportunity to take a minor in areas of two forms: traditional subject-based minors and interdisciplinary minors. With minors ranging from language to fashion studies, there are so many opportunities to enhance your academic career at FIT.<\/p>\n

To declare a minor, visit the Academic Advisement Center in room C402 to create the best plan of action. To complete a minor, you must take 5 courses that add up to 15 course credits; this can be completed as an undergraduate continuing into your bachelors as well. Upon successful completion of the selected course credits with a 2.0 or higher GPA, your minor will be recorded on your transcript. Transfer students can also transfer up to six 6 credits for any academic minor.<\/p>\n

I am graduating with a minor in Communication Studies and will be double-minoring in Economics in the fall. I chose Communication Studies because it coincided, and even overlapped, with the classes I had to take for my associates in Advertising and Marketing Communications. I also chose this minor because it aims to help students realize how communication constructs the social world in which they live and connects them to it.\u00a0Communication is a tool to build, maintain, and navigate relationships with individuals in the work place and everyday life. Similarly, I chose to double-minor in Economics because I will be learning about the international economics of the beauty industry in my Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing bachelor program. This minor enables students to acquire a useful understanding of economic concepts and analyzes and improves students\u2019 analytical skills \u2013 in addition to their commitment to a challenging academic program.<\/p>\n

By declaring a minor, you are making yourself more marketable with a fresh wealth of knowledge.\u00a0Visit this link<\/a> to view the list of minors offered at FIT.<\/p>\n
