Minor Programs

In addition to completing requirements for a major, baccalaureate students have the option of a minor concentration outside the major field. A minor is a focused program of study consisting of 18-22 credits designated by the department(s) offering the program.

A student desiring to pursue a minor should discuss these plans with the academic advisor and obtain permission of the advisor and of the designated minor advisor in the department of the minor. A student in the College of Undergraduate Studies should declare the intention to minor when declaring the major in the second semester of sophomore year in the Office of the Director of Academic Advisement, or during the junior year. A student in the College of LifeLong Learning declares this intention with the appropriate academic advisor in the College of LifeLong Learning.
