Undergraduate Minors

Each department offering an approved major, or any university interdisciplinary committee or board, may propose a minor for official program approval. A minor program requires students to complete at least 18 credits, including nine or more credits in upper-division courses.

A student must achieve a grade point average (GPA) of at least a 2.0 in the courses of a minor program of study to successfully complete a minor.  A department offering a minor may require a higher minimum GPA within the courses of the minor program of study and/or minimum grade requirement for individual courses of the minor for successful completion, but may not impose additional requirements such as a minimum university overall GPA higher than 2.0.

The program requirements for approved minors are specified in the college and department sections of this catalog. Students must meet with an advisor to complete a declaration of minor form. The student’s minor is indicated on his/her official record when all graduation requirements are satisfied.
