The Levin College offers minors in Urban Studies, Environmental Studies, and Urban Services Administration. Choosing an appropriate minor can enhance students' educational experience and add a new dimension to the major field. For example, students majoring in Political Science, Economics, Sociology, or other social science areas would benefit from minoring in Urban Studies. The Environmental Studies minor is a good fit with a major in Geology, Biology, Chemistry, or Civil Engineering. Social Work or Nursing majors might consider an Urban Services Administration minor. Of course, students in any discipline may pursue a minor through the Levin College.
