Current ASU undergraduate students may pursue a minor and have it recognized on their ASU transcript at graduation. Minor requirements appear on the degree audit after the minor is added. Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate by the college or department of either the major or the minor program. Courses taken for the minor may not count toward both the major and the minor.
ASU offers this program in an online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. Applicants may view the program’s ASU Online page for program descriptions and to request more information.
Minor programs allow students to develop additional competencies that complement the marketable knowledge and skills they acquire in their majors, diversify their skills with training in another discipline, and improve their job outlook. Although most careers require more training than a minor alone can provide, a minor in counseling and applied psychological science can add value for those pursuing careers in education, social work or health care.
Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
