Minors
Minors are designed to broaden students' education and enhance their employment opportunities. Students enrolled in any bachelor's degree program may elect to declare a minor outside the major field of study. In each minor program, students must complete required introductory level courses followed by a sequence of advanced courses and/or carefully selected electives.
Required courses in the foundation studies curriculum or in the general education curriculum may count toward a minor. The minor may require the student to complete more than the minimum number of quarter hours required for graduation. Thus, students should check to be sure adequate financial aid is available, if needed, to cover the additional time and cost. Students may choose to complete more than one minor or apply the hours earned for the minor toward the completion of a double major. For information about completing a minor, students should consult with a staff adviser.
In order to receive designation of a minor on his or her transcript, a student must satisfy the following requirements: declare the minor in writing with a staff adviser, successfully complete a minimum of 40 quarter credit hours (eight courses) as specified in the minor course of study, and maintain an overall 2.0 grade point average in the minor. Some courses have prerequisites that may require additional credits to complete the minor. Consult course descriptions to ascertain prerequisites.
Course numbers and titles are subject to change.
