Undergraduate Minors

Minor Policies

1. Coursework consists of at least 18 hours with a minimum of 6 in residence through UL.
2. At least 6 hours of credit toward the minor must be at the 300-400 level.
3. Students must have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average with no more than one D in the courses used to satisfy the minor.
4. Students must meet all requirements and prerequisites listed in the catalog for all courses in the minor.
5. A student’s degree catalog will determine which minors are available to study. Students, in consultation with academic advisor, may elect to switch catalogs.
6. All minors are governed by the college that houses the discipline of the minor, and in the case of cross-college interdisciplinary minors, the primary college of the minor. The dean of that college will have final say over the contents, rules, minimum performance standards and availability of the minor, and any course substitutions or other deviations from the curriculum specified for the minor.
7. The minor description must specify which, if any, general education courses can be double-counted, toward general education requirements and toward the minor.
8. Each college may specify whether students in that college are required to have a minor to graduate.
9. Students must declare a minor no later than the date on which they apply for graduation. Exceptions may be granted with approval from the student’s major academic dean’s office.
10. An awarded minor is displayed on the transcript after graduation but is not displayed on the diploma.
11. Minors will not be awarded retroactively after graduation.

Undergraduate Minors are grouped according to the colleges offering the relevant coursework. Unless otherwise specified, students may choose a minor within any college, regardless of the college of their major.

Please consult your academic advisor prior to selecting your minor.
