 UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES AND MAJORS MINOR A student's minor must be different than the subject area of the student's major area of study. A student may earn a minor in most of the subject areas offered at Francis Marion University through the completion of 18 semester hours. The specific course requirements for minors are found in the department/school sections of this catalog. Specific minors may be required for particular major programs. Students are expected to declare a minor (if required) no later than the second semester of their sophomore year. The minor requirement is waived for students completing a double major unless a specific minor is required for one of those majors. All students must complete a minor of 18 semester hours or two collaterals of 12 semester hours each as part of a degree program at Francis Marion University. The only exceptions are programs leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration degree; majors in Art Education, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education (although no minor is required for the Elementary Education major, one collateral is required) and Physics; and double majors (unless a specific minor or collateral is required for one of those majors). |
