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
18 credit hours across three art forms
Choose your dance, theatre, and music courses with your advisor to meet each part of the minor.
Requirements (18 credit hours)
- 18 credit hours of dance, theatre, and music courses
- At least one course in each: dance (DANC), theatre (THEA), and music (MUSC)
- At least 9 of the 18 hours must be upper division (300 level or above)
