Degree Minors

Academic minors afford students the opportunity to pursue a limited but structured field of study outside their major. The minor may be a truncated version of a major or a distinctive subset of a discipline. Minors are not available in every field of study. In general, a minor requires no fewer than 12 and no more than 18 credits, with at least 12 credits in upper-level coursework (300-400 level). No more than six credits or two courses may be used to satisfy the student’s minor and major fields of study.

All courses taken to fulfill minor requirements must be passed with a minimum grade of C. Students must follow requirements for the minor that were in effect when the student’s application to pursue a minor was approved.
