The minor affords a traditional, well-accepted way to recognize that a student has completed a significant body of work outside the major. A minor shall consist of no fewer than 15 semester hours of coursework, earned with a grade of C or better, in a recognized discipline or specialty outside the major. Of the total credits, no more than three may be individual work. CLAS students should make written application for admission to the minor in 100 AAC after 60 and before 96 hours. Applicants must meet the minimum admission requirements and will be certified by the unit offering the minor when all requirements are completed.
Students are limited to two minors.
3000-level courses may be used to fulfill the college elective requirement. Students should plan the minor so that the courses do double duty. Students can obtain a minor or a certificate in African studies, Asian studies, classical studies, gerontology, Jewish studies and linguistics. Students should consult an adviser for the requirements for each certificate. Students can obtain certificates in African American studies, environmental studies, Greek studies, humanities and agriculture, Latin American studies and Russian and East European area studies.
