Do I need to make a declaration of minor for a B.S. degree?
There is no declaration of minor needed if you are in a B.A. degree program. The minor must be declared before the beginning of the student’s final semester in the B.S. degree program. Any minor approved for the B.A. degree may serve as a minor for the B.S. degree. All general and specific requirements for minors are the same as those listed for the B.A. degree minors, including, that courses used to meet minor requirements may not be used to meet major or general distribution requirements unless so designated. The catalog used for the minor must be the same as the catalog used for the major and the general degree requirements. Requirements for the minor must be approved by the minor department and be satisfactorily completed before the B.S. degree will be awarded. The form needs your major advisor’s signature and also the department/program head’s signature of the minor you want to receive.
