Minors

Minors must be outside of a student’s major and concentration and consist of a minimum of 18 credits. Up to three courses (or up to nine credits) designated by a program to satisfy major or General Education requirements may be counted towards a minor.  Any other electives selected to complete General Education requirements and Free Electives may also be used to satisfy the minor. Double Minors Policy: Students may have two minors. To complete a second minor, courses used to fulfill the requirements of the first minor may not be used to meet the requirements of the second minor. Depending upon the major, students may not be able to complete the requirements of the minors within four years or within the minimum number of credits for their degrees.


1. This policy applies to all students, including those who began under an earlier catalog
2. The limit of 3 courses (or 9 credits) refers to the total number of courses/credits required by a program for major requirements or major-prescribed General Education courses
3. General Education courses not prescribed by a major, as well as Free Electives may count towards a minor without any limit or restrictions
4. Declaring a minor requires dean approval, so certain major/minor combinations may not be possible at the dean’s discretion
 

Minors and Microcredentials: Students may have a minor and a microcredential. Courses used to fulfill the requirements of the minor may not be used to meet the requirements of the microcredential.
