The Academic Minor

Students must complete an academic minor of at least 15 hours in an academic discipline outside of journalism and telecommunications. Students must earn a C– or higher in each course and a grade point average of at least 2.0 in all courses taken for the second concentration. The selection of courses by the student should indicate evidence of a goal and must be approved by an academic advisor or faculty counselor.

Students may complete any of the certificates offered by the School of Liberal Arts for the second concentration requirement. Students completing certificates in other schools must obtain approval from an advisor for that school. Students must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of courses approved for the certificate. The School of Journalism requires that students pursuing this option meet with an advisor of the department offering the certificate, obtain the advisor’s signature on a planned program, and submit a copy of the program to the School of Journalism advisors.

With the approval of the advisor of the School of Journalism, students have the option to complete an individualized academic minor. Students must propose selected courses in consultation with their faculty counselor and complete a written explanation of the educational value or goal of their choice. The selection of courses should show evidence of a coherent body of knowledge.
