A student may design an arts and sciences interdepartmental minor.
The minor must consist of at least 18 credits, at least 9 of which must
be chosen within one department at the 300 level or above. This program
can be completed either through daytime or evening attendance and does
not apply to the School of Business–Camden.
Before being
permitted to pursue the minor, the student must obtain: (1) the written
consent of a full-time faculty member who will act as the student's
adviser; and (2) the approval of the Academic Policy and Courses of
Study Committee one year prior to graduation. The student should submit
the proposal to the Academic Policy and Courses of Study Committee. It
should include: (1) a rationale for the student-proposed minor and a
discussion of its intellectual and/or practical coherence; and (2) two
itemized lists, one of all courses completed and one of those courses
now being taken and yet to be taken.
Once approval has been
granted, a copy of the student's minor program of study will be filed
with the registrar and the Division of Student Affairs. If the student
wishes to alter the minor, written permission from the adviser as above
must be received. The changed minor must then be reapproved by the
committee.
