A systematic program of study in an area of emphasis outside a student's major.
People are complex - students may have more than one academic interest. If this is the case, students should consider choosing an academic discipline or concentration that complements their major. This may give students more options when ultimately considering a career.

A type of key, chord or scale. Minor keys or scales are generally thought of as sadder than major keys, although the mood of a song also depends on many other elements, such as lyrics, rhythm and singing style.

A minor is a small area of concentrated study. A minor usually consists of 2-4 preparation classes (lower division classes) and at least 12 upper division units (4 courses).

However, many students choose to take a minor even though it is not required. Minor descriptions are listed by department or program in the General Catalog after the major description.
A minor for a degree-seeking student is a secondary area of concentration. Most UALR minors consist of 18 to 24 credit hours. A minor is required in all baccalaureate degree programs unless the major program specifies that a minor is not required.
