A micro-minor is a group of courses that address a shared problem, topic or theme from different disciplinary perspectives. Columbian College’s micro-minors bridge the arts, humanities, social sciences and STEM disciplines.
For example, students could examine immigration and migration through courses in U.S. history, postcolonial literature and Latino experience and identity. Or they might choose to deepen their understanding of health equity through courses in public health, service learning and the history of capitalism.
