A 2.0 or better GPA is required for graduation. The majority of the academic departments have established lower-division prerequisites. Generally, these prerequisites must be completed prior to entry into upper-division major courses. Many of these courses may be counted for general-education credit as well. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with department faculty and college advisers.
Minors are optional.
However, students are encouraged to keep as many options open as possible. A minor provides an excellent opportunity to complement the major field of study. See your college or department for further information. Honors Quarterly provost's honors, honors at graduation, departmental honors, and Phi Beta Kappa are awarded to Thurgood Marshall College students. To apply for the major, students must have a 3.25 grade point average.
