Students in Recreation and Leisure Studies honours or general plans may choose to complete a minor as part of their degree.
A minor is typically a group of eight to ten courses (0.5 unit each) offered by another department.

Consult the Undergraduate Calendar for specific requirements for the department in which you plan to obtain a minor. Students considering Faculties of Education (Teachers' College) at the high school level often complete a minor for their first teachable subject.
