Students may complete a minor in one of the three tracks. The minors consist of six courses: two Foundation courses, two Core courses, and two Elective courses. No more than two courses from any one department may be counted toward the completion of an AMRS minor. A student may complete either the combination of an AMRS major and an AMRS minor in a different track, or two AMRS minors, provided that no more than one course is counted toward both the major and the minor, or toward both minors.
