Minors are available to declared baccalaureate degree students as an option in the Landmark College curriculum.
A minor provides the student with an opportunity to take on a second area of focus beyond the major. This could be an area that complements the student’s major or different area of interest a student wishes to explore. Students may not minor in the same area of study as their baccalaureate degree. A minor is not required to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Engaging in the study of a discipline through a minor promotes connections to multiple departments, as well as to a subject area that a student may choose to pursue beyond the attainment of their bachelor’s degree. A completed minor is noted on a student’s degree transcript and serves as further demonstration of a student’s intellectual persistence and dedication to a particular academic discipline.
A minor requires 15 – 24 credits. Some minors may require completion of prerequisites that are not included in the total requirements of the minor.
The following are required by a student pursuing a minor:
- Students are expected to earn a C (2.0) average in the minor requirements to earn the minor.
- At least one-third of the credits in the minor must be earned at Landmark College.
- At least nine credits in the minor must be unique to the minor and not meet a major requirement.
- At least six credits in the minor must be at the 3000 level or higher.
