A minor is an approved, coherent concentration of academic study in a single discipline, involving substantially fewer hours of credit than a corresponding major.  Cronkite students are not required to take a minor, but most students do have room in their schedules to add one and complete the classes without going over the 120 credits needed to graduate. Most minors entail six classes (18 credits); a few require more or less credits. Talk to your advisor or email CronkiteAdvising@asu.edu if you are interested in pursuing a minor.
