Minor Programs

A student completing a minor may use no more than two courses from a major or double major combination to fulfill the requirements for the minor. No more than one course from one minor may count toward the fulfillment of a second minor. Students may not minor in a subject in which they are also completing a major.

The majors offered by the departments of Art and Design; Mathematics and Computer Science; Sociology and Criminal Justice; and History, Language, and Global Culture should each be considered as separate subjects when considering major/minor combinations. In addition, the following major and minor combinations are permitted:

Journalism and Global & Cultural Communications
Political Science and Law
International Relations and Law
International Relations and Political Science

A minor program is optional for any student and is not required for graduation. A student should consult as early as possible with their advisor, and with a member of the department in which he or she intends to minor, regarding minor requirements. Students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 in their minor.

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