What is a minor?

A Minor is an opportunity for a student to explore a secondary area of undergraduate study either for personal interest beyond a student’s degree program, or as an area of specific expertise related to the student’s degree program that will serve the student’s career choice.

A Minor consists of six one-semester courses with a relationship based on discipline, theme and/or methodology, as determined by the program offering the Minor and approved by the Senate. Students should be aware that any course used towards a Concentration cannot also be used to satisfy a Minor.

Every student at Ryerson who is enrolled in an undergraduate degree program must complete Liberal Studies. Students in the Arts & Contemporary Studies program must complete three lower (table A) and three upper (table B) liberal studies.

It is very common to have some liberal studies appear on table I or II due to the nature of the program. Students choosing an option must be aware of certain restrictions that apply to their certain plan.
