An Associates degree is not a minor; it is an AA/AS degree. A BALS degree is a major in Liberal Studies, with a specific concentration in whatever subject area you focused on. Minors are only awarded alongside majors, and both are awarded at the Bachelor degree level.
When I was completing National Resume Writers' Association coursework, the issue of listing minors really didn't come up. This is really just my opinion here, but I don't see the harm in listing them on resumes alongside your major(s) since they can show some fields were your skills have spiked. I picked up at least two minors incidentally while completing my BS, and I do include them and multiple certificates on my resume, but it would be up to you.
In summary: a minor is not even an associate-level credential and should not be thought of as such, but if TESU and etc. don't award minors for their bachelor-level degrees, you could just list specific concentrations.
