The major is the primary field of study for a program. A major must include at least 30 credit hours in the discipline and may include supporting courses from other disciplines; however, the total hours required for the major should not exceed 80 credit hours. A minimum of 12 credit hours within the major must be 300-level or higher, in addition to the capstone course. Some majors are interdisciplinary by design; these majors will list the included disciplines in the catalog program description. Interdisciplinary majors must meet the above requirements (30-80 credit hours; at least 12 hours at or above 300-level) within the disciplines listed in the respective program description. Exceptions for the 80 credit hour maximum are made for individually accredited programs with curriculum approval.
The minor is a secondary field of study that may only be completed as part of a baccalaureate degree. Minors should require important core classes from the discipline, as well as at least one elective within the discipline. Minors require at least 18 credit hours, but no more than 25 credit hours. Students may not complete a minor in the same field of study as degree(s) earned.
Dual Fulfillment
No more than two courses may be used to fulfill both major and minor requirements. No more than two courses used to fulfill the General Education Core may be used to fulfill requirements of a program (major or minor).
The Curriculum Committee may grant exceptions to this rule for individual programs.
