hours of course work, but the actual number required
varies by department. Of the 16 credits required,
no more than 6 credits of 1000- or 2000-level courses
can count toward a minor. (Some departments may

at least 6 hours of 3000- or 4000-level courses.
These courses must not be required by the student's
major (except as free elective hours). Students
interested in adding a minor to their degree program
must consult their academic advisors as well as
the minor department
The
Humanities Department has the following three Minors
