Minors
A minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits in a particular discipline and requires one 1000-level course and two 3000- and/or 4000 –level courses. The remainder may be chosen from current discipline course offerings at any level and are determined by the student and academic adviser. Some minors; however, do have specific course requirements as listed below. Students may not minor in their major field of study and must declare their minors prior to registering for GRAD 2110. The following minors are available as of this catalog printing. Consult program directors to determine if additional minors are available. Please note: Students cannot minor in areas closely related to their major (i.e., major in Business and minor in Business). The College does not guarantee the availability of all courses necessary for all minor options listed.
