Academic Minors

Academic minors extend the curriculum’s flexibility while adding another medium of connection, coherence and integration to the student’s course of study. A student who has declared a single major may elect one or two minors; a student who has declared a double major may elect only one minor. 

Minors normally consist of five to seven courses, as defined by departments or programs. See individual program descriptions for details on specific programs. A minor may not be declared in the student’s major, although a student may major in one foreign language and minor in another. Students must have earned a 2.0 GPA at the time of graduation in all courses taken in their minor. Courses counting toward the student’s minor completion cannot be taken on a pass/fail basis after the minor is declared. See the Inventory of Registered Programs and the Courses of Study section of the Catalog for the list of minors and visit www.stlawu.edu/academics for links to departments and programs.
