The minor requires 18 credit hours of coursework. Students must complete a minimum of 9 credit hours of upper-level (300–400) courses and maintain a GPA of at least 2.000 in fulfillment of all courses taken toward minor requirements. At least 9 credit hours of the minor must be completed on the Bloomington campus. In fulfilling the requirements below, students must also meet all other College requirements for minors.
