Minors in the Bachelor of Arts

Minors in the Bachelor of Arts is a Bachelor program taught at Victoria University of Wellington, wellington, New Zealand. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

Minors in the Bachelor of Arts let you add an optional additional area of focus. A minor is a collection of courses in one subject area.

A minor is made up of at least 60 points from the relevant subject area at 200 level or above, with at least 15 of those points at 300 level that do not count towards a major or another minor.

For selected subjects, course entry is limited and may require writing samples.
