Personalized Minor

A student whose educational objectives cannot be best served by existing minors may design a personalized minor suited to individual needs. The student, after completing a minimum of 30 hours, must petition in writing the academic unit leader in which the minor is to be taken. This petition is prepared in consultation with the student’s advisor and the academic area of the minor; it includes a list of the proposed courses to be taken witha detailed statement of justification. The academic unit leader may accept or reject the petition. When the proposal is agreed upon by both the student and the academic unit leader, a personalized program is written and forwarded to the Office of the Registrar.
