Minors
A minor must contain 15 to 18 semester hours of course work, with at least 9
hours of upper division course work, in a field of study other than the
student's major. Courses taken to satisfy Core Areas I through V may not be
counted as course work in the minor. Courses taken in Core Area VI may be
counted as course work in the minor. The intent of establishing minor fields of
study is to offer students the opportunity to broaden their education through
the minor field. The selection of a minor field of study should be made to
fulfill this goal.
The department shall make available to students the requirements for the
minor--the total number of hours required, along with the enumeration of any
particular courses that are mandated or excluded, residency requirements (if
any) for the minor courses, and grade requirements for minor courses if those
requirements differ from the general University standard for credit (a D as the
minimum passing grade). The University Curriculum Committee has determined that
if a course satisfies a major requirement it cannot also be used to satisfy
course requirements in the minor field of study.
A student may select a minor in consultation with his or her advisor. The
student may then consult an advisor in the minor field who can inform the
student of remaining requirements for the minor. When the student has met the
requirements for the minor, the advisor in the minor field will then certify
that fact to the student's dean. The completed minor will be recorded on the
student's permanent transcript, but not on the diploma. For students completing
a minor after graduation, the statement shall appear on the transcript in
chronological order following the courses taken subsequent to graduation. A
student must be enrolled at the time a minor is approved by the Board of
Regents, or subsequent to that date, to receive credit for the minor. A student
may have more than one minor.
