Minors

Adding a Minor Considerations:

If you have any questions, please call the Life Sciences Advisement Center at 801-422-3042 or come to our office in room 2060 in the LSB.

While a minor can enhance a student’s educational experience, it needs to be well-planned in order for the student to graduate in a timely manner. Students who desire a minor should declare it before completing 90 BYU credits; otherwise, they will need to petition to add the minor.

Some minors need to be pre-approved by other Advisement Centers before students may declare them (see list below).

How Do I Declare a Minor?

How will I know if my minor has been approved?

Once you submit the minor request form, we will look over the request to make sure you are not missing any information. If information is missing, we will email you, and you will need to re-fill out the minor request form with the updated information. If no information is missing, we will add the minor to your account and send you a confirmation email.

Please note if any of the below apply to you, you will need to plan all required minor courses in your MyMap before the minor can be added. Instructions on how to do this are in the minor request form.

• If you have over 90 BYU credits (not including language challenge exam credits or transfer credits)
• If the minor is not related to your major (see the "Explore Related Minors" form)
• If you have a double major
• If you already have a minor

Minors that require additional approval

To declare one of the minors listed below, students need to get approval from these Advisement Centers in addition to filling out our entire Life Sciences Minor Request Form. When approval for a minor is granted, the advisement center will usually indicate so in an email to the Life Sciences Advisement.

*Please note that all teaching minors require students to be in a teaching major program.
