How a minor works
Three things to know
A minor is optional, and it’s a simple way to add a second area of expertise to your degree.
01
Pair it with your major
Choose a minor in a different discipline from your major. When you finish, it’s recorded on your transcript.
02
Plan with your advisor
Map out your courses with your advisor. A course used in your major can’t also count as an elective in your minor.
03
Finish with a C or better
Earn a C or higher in every course for the minor, including at least 9 credit hours at the upper-division level. Pass/fail grades don’t count.
The curriculum
22 credit hours of dance
Choose your dance courses with your advisor to meet each part of the minor.
Requirements (22 credit hours)
- 10 credit hours of dance technique
- 9 credit hours of dance courses that aren’t technique courses
- 3 credit hours of dance electives
- At least 9 of the 22 hours must be upper division
