MAJOR AND MINOR INFORMATION
MAJOR AND MINOR REQUIREMENTS
To graduate, each student must complete one of the following: 1) one “area major”; 2) one
major and one minor field of study; 3) two major fields of study; or 4) an interdisciplinary
major. Under the second option, the major and minor must be selected from different
disciplines. Specific requirements for majors, minors, and interdisciplinary majors are listed at
the beginning of the course descriptions for the respective departments of instruction.
Some departments offer specializations that may be employed by students completing certain
majors to fulfill the minor requirement; however, students proposing such a program of study
should first consult the Catalog or their advisor to determine whether a particular combination
of major with specialization suffices to satisfy the minor requirement. Students must declare
their major and minor (if applicable) fields of study no later than the beginning of the junior
year. Courses (including any required allied courses) in which grades of “D” (1.00) or lower
have been earned may NOT be counted toward completion of either a major or minor field of
study. At least 12 semester hours in junior- or senior-level courses must be included in the
major. For a minor, no fewer than 12 semester hours or more than 21 hours may be required.
DEPARTMENTAL AND AREA MAJORS
For the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, a department may require no fewer
than 27 hours or more than 54 hours in the major field of study (nor more than 51 hours
inclusive of allied courses). An area major is a prescribed program of study that requires no
fewer than 50 or more than 60 semester hours and is administered by a single department of
instruction, but which may include courses from one or more disciplines offered in other
