A regular past form, with one spelling doing the work of both the simple past and the past participle. The verb behind it is intransitive and comes paired with in: she minored in economics, never she minored economics. Because no object receives the action, the participle appears after have or had in perfect tenses but not in passives. A subject is never itself "minored."
