Minor Program Options

Guidelines: 
1.  A minor may be added to any BA or BS degree program (including a dual-degree program) that does not include that area of study as its secondary major.  A minimum of 19 hours must be completed to earn a degree.

2.  If desired, a minor is declared as soon as possible, preferably (but not necessarily) at the same time the major is declared. 

3.  A minor may be awarded only at the time the bachelor's degree is received. 

4.  The proper sequencing of courses in a degree program to include a minor is the responsibility of the student.  Appropriate sequencing for the courses required for each minor are shown.  In most degree programs, the addition of a minor will add one or more semesters to the length of the program.
