LAIS offers five minor programs:

• Humanities - Dr. Tina Gianquitto
• International Political Economy - Dr. James Jesudason
• Science, Technology, and Society - Dr. Carl Mitcham
• Humanitarian Studies and Technology - Dr. Juan Lucena

Students who elect to pursue a minor usually will automatically satisfy their Humanities & Social Sciences General Education Restricted Electives Requirement. They will also need to use their free elective hours to complete a minor. Students may choose to pursue an Area of Special Interest (ASI) in any of the LAIS minor programs. Minors are a minimum of 18 credit-hours. ASIs are a minimum of 12 credit-hours.

Students should consult the minor advisors listed above for specific requirements.
