A minor is a set of courses focused on a single discipline or an interdisciplinary thematic area. There can be no substitution for the courses listed as constituting a minor without approval of the governing department or committee. There is no limit on the number of minors a student can declare. Students must declare the minor(s) before their final degree check before graduation, by completing a petition with the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Student Affairs Office, the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences Student Affairs Office, or the College of Engineering Student Affairs Office depending on their major. Prior approval by the department or committee offering the minor is required. The minor is noted on the transcript at the time the degree is conferred.
