A minor shall consist of 15-20 credit hours with a grade of C- or higher and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in the minor. (A minimum of 2 courses totaling at least 6 credit hours must be taken while in residence at IU Northwest.)

Students may pursue a minor in a different discipline than their major. For instance, a French major may pursue a sociology minor, but a French major cannot pursue a French minor. Students may have more than one minor. Students' major(s) and minor(s) may be listed on their transcripts. Students must advise the College of Arts and Sciences Office of the minor(s) and receive advisement from the minor department.

Students who have been awarded a baccalaureate degree cannot at a later date change the degree to include additional majors and/or minors.
