All revisions to the requirements of the major should be completed prior to the end of the
junior year. Any changes made in the major after it has been approved must be initialed
by the Exploration Term and Contract Learning Committee chairperson. An
individualized major does not exempt students from the degree requirements of the
College. For further information, contact the Office of Exploration Term and Contract
Learning or a faculty member in one of the areas of the individualized major.
DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS
Dual degree programs allow students to begin academic work at the College, with a
degree from Birmingham-Southern College awarded upon successful completion of
further requirements at a partner institution, which also confers a degree.

ACADEMIC MINORS
Students may concentrate additional studies in any of the areas listed below. Minors are
not required for graduation, but students who pursue a minor should do so thoughtfully,
and should declare it prior to the end of the sophomore year. Students must maintain at
least a 2.000 grade point average in the minor, and none of its course requirements may
be evaluated “S” or “U.” In addition, no course counted toward the major may also be
counted toward a minor unless specifically exempted from this exclusion. Exemptions
appear in the descriptions of majors found in this catalog.
Students who elect to pursue a minor are encouraged to spread their elective courses over
the remaining disciplines in order to gain the benefits of a broad liberal arts education.
