Residency Requirement Policy

In the College of Arts and Sciences, a two-course (8 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for completion of a minor and a four-course (16 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for the completion of a major.

Minor Programs Policy

A student declaring a minor may use no more than two courses from a major or double major combination to fulfill the requirements for the minor.
