Declaring a Minor
Review the Academic Policy: A minor is an integrated, coherent group of courses (compromising 15 to 24 units in most cases), which gives the student knowledge in an area that lies outside of the major field of study.
Students who wish to earn a minor should contact the department offering the academic minor as early as possible in the program and fill out the appropriate agreement form.

Landscape Architecture Minor
This minor is designed for students who want to expand their knowledge of landscape architecture's role in the planning, conceptualizing, and designing the natural and built environment. The program is structured to expose students to issues facing our society on global and local levels while reinforcing concepts of sustainability. From the perspective of landscape architecture, students can explore various environmental issues or examine a specific topic area in greater depth. They will gain a clearer understanding of landscape architects' interdisciplinary contributions and leadership roles in addressing societal and environmental concerns.
