UMPI !Minors
Introduction
There are a number of possible minors that can be done at University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI). Some of these are possible, others are not. Always check the UMPI minor catalog to confirm if a minor still exists before making plans to complete it.
Compared to other colleges, getting minors at UMPI is relatively quick and cheap to get.
Reasons to Pick a Minor
Picking a minor can be just as important as picking a major. Minors can enhance your degree in a variety of ways. Here are some of the things that a minor could do for you:
- Allow you to explore a new topic in a higher education setting
- Expand on your major and increase your knowledge in that subject area
- Provide new content to make you a more marketable professional
While minors are not a requirement, they are an exciting option for undergraduate students. By choosing one of UMPI's minors, you can provide yourself with new knowledge, skills, and experiences. Not only can a minor add value to your education — it can also enrich your life.
