Multidisciplinary Minor

The multidisciplinary minor, designed for students who have interests not met by existing minors, requires 18-24 s.h., 9 s.h. of which must be above 2999. The theme-focused minor must comprise courses from a minimum of three disciplines and must not reproduce existing disciplinary or other multidisciplinary minors. Courses must exclude the student’s major. A declared major who is interested in the multidisciplinary minor and who has completed a minimum of 30 s.h. can discuss with his or her advisor the theme around which the minor will be developed and must submit a written plan to the faculty member assigned by the student’s major department to oversee the multidisciplinary minor and to that department’s chair. (Please note that the Multidisciplinary Studies director is not involved with this minor.) Criteria for the plan include thematic unity and coherence and clarity of educational objectives.The student will complete the course of study under the supervision of his or her advisor.
