CHANGES IN THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MINOR FOR THE
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS CHAPTER
OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG, 2004-2006
| On page 256, under the heading DEGREES in the section MAJORS
AND MINORS in the College of Liberal Arts chapter of The
Undergraduate Catalog, 2002-2004, make the following changes: |
Minors. Students in most majors
must also fulfill the requirements of a minor. The minor consists
of a specific number of semester hours of coursework completed
outside the student’s major field [; in some departments,
the minor field may be the same as the major]. The requirements
of the minor are established by the major department and are given
with the major requirements on pages 256-264. Additional restrictions
may be imposed by the academic depart-ment(s) in which the student
takes the courses used to fulfill the requirements of the minor;
before planning to use a course to fulfill the minor requirement,
the student should consult the department or program that offers
the course.
The same courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements for both
a major and a minor. Courses used to fulfill the requirements for a
minor must be taken on the letter-grade basis, and six of the required
semester hours must be taken in residence.
Unless otherwise indicated, a course taken to meet the requirements
under “Prescribed Work,” pages 253-254, may also be counted
toward fulfillment of the minor requirements.
RATIONALE: This statement
was added to accommodate the American studies major's "American
content minor." As of this catalog, the American studies required
minor will be "12 hours, including 6 upper-division, in any one
other subject or program." Therefore, we are removing the potentially
confusing statement from the section.
