Minor, Interdisciplinary Concentration, or Specialization
Most majors require a minor, an interdisciplinary concentration, or a specialization within the major. A grade of C or better is required in every course that counts toward the minor, an interdisciplinary concentration or a specialization. Additionally, if support courses are required as support work for the major, minor, interdisciplinary concentration or specialization, a grade of C or better is required in each course listed as a support course. Details of these requirements may be found in the “Undergraduate Programs.”
