Declaring a minor, however, is not a backdoor route toward entering a major. If a department has admission requirements for the major, you must apply and meet those requirements even if you have already declared a minor in that field.
You may have a major in one college and a minor in another. You will complete the general education requirements of the college of your major; you are not required to meet the general education requirements of the college of your minor. However, since there are limitations for Evening Degree Program students on taking day classes, students in this program should consult with their adviser on possible minor options. You must be careful, however, to meet UW's residence requirement: at least 45 of the final 60 credits must be completed at the campus granting the degree.
For more information see Cross-Campus Registration. Overlaps allowed Although you cannot major and minor in the same program at the same time, some majors and minors include courses from more than one department.
In such cases you may overlap, but the amount of overlap might be restricted. For example, some Religion courses may count toward the Comparative History of Ideas minor. If you minor in Comparative History of Ideas and major in Comparative Religion, you may count these courses toward both your minor and your major with no restriction.
However, the Diversity minor restricts overlap with your major to 10 credits. Be sure to check the minor requirements to determine how much overlap with your major is allowed. Postbaccalaureate students Postbaccalaureate students students who have already earned a bachelor's degree may not be awarded a minor.
Advising General questions about minors can be answered by your major department adviser or by a premajor adviser, but you are strongly encouraged to meet with a minor adviser to talk about the subject matter of the minor and your plans for competing the minor.
Applying to graduate Your degree application must list any minors you plan to complete. Your major adviser will run a DARS audit for your minor and include it with your graduation application. Once you have declared a minor and have included it on your degree application, you must complete that minor or drop it officially, or you will not graduate. This protects you from being graduated when your actual intent is to continue on in order to complete the minor. If you want to add a minor after your graduation application has been submitted, see your adviser, who will update your application and notify the Graduation and Academic Records Office.
You may not add a minor after the graduation application deadline — the third Friday of the quarter in which you plan to graduate — unless at the same time you postpone your graduation date to a later quarter. Certifying completion of a minor Minors will be posted on your transcript. A minor must be awarded at the same time a bachelor's degree is awarded. Did you know? As educators, we guide and support students in exploring, questioning, and navigating the events and significance of their undergraduate education.
If you ultimately decide to graduate without the minor, the minor must be removed from your records before your degree can be processed. In addition to any admission requirements, in order to declare a minor you must select a minor program that is outside of your major department.
Minors that are made up exclusively of courses from a single department may not be earned by students majoring in that department. For example, if you are majoring in Business Administration, you would not be able to minor in Marketing, Business Law, or any of the other minors from the Marshall School of Business. You may choose an interdepartmental minor which includes courses from your major department as long as at least four courses at least 16 units completed for the minor are not courses offered by the major department.
A minor requires at least 16 units. Most minors require units. In some cases, background requirements will increase this total. For example, the Spanish minor requires 24 credits of Spanish communication and culture courses, but the Spanish communication courses require Spanish III proficiency which may necessitate additional courses in Spanish language. For instance, you could:. Or you might want to broaden your education in another field that connects to an intended career.
You could:. If you plan ahead, fitting a minor in with other requirements is entirely possible. Your General Education classes, units toward graduation or required upper-division units could all be focused toward a minor. If you have a major that is heavy with requirements and you decide to add a minor, fit it into your academic plan more easily through Summer Sessions coursework. Classes for many minors can be taken then, including ones for the popular technology management minor sponsored through the Graduate School of Management.
You can even incorporate study abroad and get a minor included on your degree. The global and international studies minor — sponsored by the Study Abroad office — is designed to complement your academic experience abroad.
