Basic guidelines for completing a minor

To complete a minor a student must satisfy the following requirements:
  • A grade of at least C- must be earned in each minor course
  • Earn at least a cumulative GPA of 2.0 for all courses applied to the minor;
  • Not select the pass/fail option for courses in the minor;
  • Meet the following residency requirement: no more than 50% of the requirements of a minor may be fulfilled by transfer credits, AP credit, IB credit or CLEP credit;
  • Finally, students cannot earn a minor in their major program.

CDM minors for CDM students

To obtain a minor in CDM when the major is also in CDM, a student must satisfy all of the requirements above and:

  • Satisfy all requirements for the major
  • Satisfy all requirements for the minor
  • Take at least 6 courses in the minor area that do not count towards their CDM major

Note: If you have already taken some of the courses listed under your minor on this page, work with your advisor to choose six distinct courses within the minor program area.

Courses required to fulfill a minor are determined by the unit in which the minor resides.
