Academic minors are an option available to baccalaureate degree students. Each minor consists of 18-21 semester hours of course work. At least six credit hours in each minor must be completed at the College. Students may not elect a minor from the same discipline as their major program. A minor should be declared by the completion of 60 credit hours. Students wishing to delclare minors must do so by the beginning of their junior year (completion of 60 credit hours). Students transferring in more than 60 credit hours must declare their minors by the end of the first semester at Medaille. Students can take a maximum of one concentration and/or two minors.
