Minors

A minor is an area of concentrated study, outside of the major area of study.  A minor requires a minimum of four classes (16 credits) in a directed area of study.  Minors may require coursework in a student's degree program beyond the minimum of 141-161 credits required for completion of the major.  Minors are not required for graduation though a student may elect to pursue a minor in an area of additional interest.  Minors appear on a student’s transcript at student declaration, and requirements must be completed at the time of graduation.  

A student wishing to declare a minor should consult the head of the department that houses the minor, or a faculty advisor in that department. The student is then responsible for submitting a request to the Registrar's Office for processing.
