Graduate minors foster pluralistic academic exposure and intellectual exchange. Many
fields have become multidisciplinary and multi-professional. From a career angle,
employers nowadays look for well-versed, well-rounded, versatile employees who can deal
with ever-changing, multidimensional marketplaces. Graduate minors are areas of inquiry
supplemental to the major graduate studies connected with other disciplines or
professions. Graduate minors consist of 12 credits over and above a student’s major
program requirements. The graduate minors are obtainable for NSU graduate students in
good academic standing, pending class seat availability. Please visit the website at
