Undergraduate Level Minors

Because it is important for students to develop an understanding of multiple academic disciplines, students may pursue a minor in addition to their major. For example, a military history major might select an intelligence studies minor. The combination of the major and the unrelated minor will enable students to expand their thinking beyond the single discipline, while also allowing them to present a broader academic portfolio to potential employers or graduate schools. Students may not minor in a discipline directly related to their major discipline. Eighteen semester hours are required for each minor. Students may apply transfer credit towards courses that count towards the minor. Many students will be able to fulfill the majority of the course requirements for a minor by carefully selecting and aligning the electives within their degree program.
