Minor in STEM

The STEM minor provides students with a broad foundation of scientific knowledge. The minor reinforces the scientific method across disciplines, and will allow students to gain increased scientific literacy across the disciplines. Students will also learn to communicate science to a diverse audience. Any non-science major with an interest in science and its applications to real world problems should pursue this major.
