COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

  • Complete all courses that fulfill requirements in the minor with a grade C or higher.

Notes:

An academic minor is an attribute of a baccalaureate degree, not an entity by itself, and can only be awarded at the same time a student graduates with a bachelor’s degree.  Students must declare a minor prior to submitting a graduation application.  A minor may not be added to a previously awarded degree.  Students must complete the minor requirements prior to or concurrent with completion of their bachelor’s degree requirements.  Minors are not available with associate’s degrees. 

A minor should not exceed 18 credits when you include hidden prerequisites such as PSY 1010, which may be required to take psych 3040 for example. In addition, a student should not take more than 9 credits that would count towards both their major in Psychology and their minor in Gender Studies.

Students may not declare a minor that is in the same discipline as their major.  Example:  English majors cannot declare any English minor.  

Integrated Studies majors may not have an academic minor in the same discipline as either of their two declared emphases.  Example:  An Integrated Studies major with emphases in English and Spanish cannot receive a minor in either English or Spanish.
