Minors are designed to provide baccalaureate students with knowledge and skills in a field other than their majors, that may lead to a post-graduation competitive advantage. Bachelor’s students who have earned a minimum of 45 credits and have an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible to declare a minor. The Request for a Minor Form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. To be able to complete your minor within 120 credits (minimum credit required for a major), students are strongly recommended to meet and Academic Advisor for the course planning prior to declaring a minor.
The minimum number of credits for a minor is 18. A maximum of two courses required for the major (including the general education) can be used toward a minor, and open electives may be used to satisfy the remaining of the minor requirements.
Successful completion of a minor requires a grade of C or higher in all courses of that minor. A minor must be completed at the time of the bachelor’s degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript. A student cannot be readmitted to complete only a minor.
