In most cases, at least nine of the 18 units must be upper-division units. For additional information about the minimum number of units for a specific minor, contact the department that administers the minor. See the Catalog's Undergraduate Minor Reports page for a list of approved minors and links to their respective Requirement Reports, including specific course requirements. Any variation from the prescribed content must be approved by the minor discipline. Certification of a minor at the point of degree audit for graduation indicates that the student has met the requirements specified by the discipline defining the minor.
Students also have the option of declaring a thematic minor.
The thematic minor is developed around a theme identified by the student, using courses from two or more disciplines. The major advisor must approve all thematic minors. For more information about the approval process for thematic minors contact your major advisor.
