Good question! It’s pretty confusing but I think UMN defines dual degree to include a degree from another college of the university. And there might be a restriction on earning two of the same degree (i.e. a BS from one college and a BS from another). Here is something I found - have no idea whether it’s current: http://advisingtools.class.umn.edu/Multimedia/Completing_Dual_Degrees_at_the_UMTC.pdf

The short answer would be to talk to your advisor and if you are restricted you can probably still minor in that other subject.
