Minors
Academic minors demonstrate that students have completed a coherent and officially recognized course of study beyond their chosen majors. A student may not earn a minor sharing the title of the student's major degree program. A minor typically consists of at least 12 credit hours of coursework and must include 6 credit hours or more at courses numbered 3000 level or above. Special topics, independent study and undergraduate research credit may be included in the minor program but not exceed 6 credit hours. A maximum of 6 credit hours of transfer credit may be used to satisfy the course requirements for a minor, at the department's discretion. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary minors are considered as Special Programs and must meet requirements as specified in CRR 300.030 Faculty Bylaws of the Missouri University of Science and Technology. All courses used to satisfy the course requirements for a minor must be completed with a grade of C (2.000) or better. The minor is awarded simultaneously with the major degree award.
