one minor is chosen, the supervisory committee member
representing the minor suggests 12 to 24 credits of courses
numbered 5000 or higher as preparation for a qualifying
examination. Part of this credit may have been earned in the M.S.
degree program. If two minors are chosen, each must include at
least 8 credits. Competence in the minor area is demonstrated by
written examination by the minor academic unit, or by the oral
qualifying examination. Minor course work at the doctoral level may
include courses in more than one academic unit, if the objective of
the minor is clearly stated and the combination of courses is
approved by the Graduate School (this approval is not required for
a minor in one academic unit). Further requirements for the Master
of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees are listed under
those headings in the General Information section of this catalog.
