Open or Minor Area of Study

A minimum of 24 credits in the program is reserved as either open coursework for students to take any elective courses in the school or university as they desire or,

To use towards a preconfigured minor program of study within JSAA or the university at large. The minor program of study provides three major advantages to a JSAA graduate:

1. It expands their scope of employability: by training in an additional area of work the minor program makes a student more attractive to prospective employers by increasing their capacities to work across multiple tasks but also across multiple sectors of the industry.

2. It expands their scope of further education: Since students have completed a minimum of 24 credits in that area of study, they are also eligible to undergo graduate work in their minor area of study

3. The minor area of study expands the interdisciplinary orientation of a graduate allowing them to fashion themselves as uniquely trained professionals who are able to bring an additional skill set to any job they are asked to undertake.
