Can you attend a separate college to get a minor?


Technically speaking, no.


If you are not enrolled in a degree program at an institution, you technically cannot earn a "Minor" in a discipline.


However, you can still take courses at another institution, and you can work towards a non-degree certificate. Oftentimes, universities and colleges may offer continuing/professional education courses that provide a certificate in a specific discipline. Certificate programs tend to amount to the same amount of credits as a "minor."


An Associate's Degree at another institution may also be an option.

The short answer is no if you're thinking about most traditional universities. If you're not really interested in pursuing a traditional degree and just want to take I few courses, I would strongly recommend looking into a community college to take just the courses you are interested in. You may also want to look into technical or trade schools or continuing education courses available locally.
