The School of Sport Science offers minor programs in exercise science, nutrition and wellness, and e-sport management providing an opportunity to explore your interests and customize your own path of study.
Considering a Minor?
Minors must be outside of a student鈥檚 major and concentration and consist of a minimum of 18 credits. Up to three courses (or up to nine credits) designated by a program to satisfy major or General Education requirements may be counted towards a minor. Any other electives selected to complete General Education requirements and Free Electives may also be used to satisfy the minor.
- This policy applies to all students, including those who began under an earlier catalog
- The limit of 3 courses (or 9 credits) refers to the total number of courses/credits required by a program for major requirements or major-prescribed General Education courses
- General Education courses not prescribed by a major, as well as Free Electives may count towards a minor without any limit or restrictions
- Declaring a minor requires dean approval, so certain major/minor combinations may not be possible at the dean鈥檚 discretion
Double Minors Policy
You may have two minors. In order to complete a second minor, courses used to fulfill the requirements of the first minor may not be used to meet the requirements of the second minor. Depending upon the major, you may not be able to complete the requirements of the minors within four years or within the minimum number of credits for your degree.
