WHAT IS A SUB-SPECIALIZATION OR MINOR
Within the philosophy of the Liberal Arts, the subspecializations or minors are sequences of courses that deepen knowledge in a specific area of knowledge; thus, in addition to studying their career, the student will be able to cover other areas of interest. Obtaining a minor is considered for admission to master's or doctoral programs and contributes to success in the field.
