  2. A minor program may be open only to students from designated departments.<\/li>\n
  3. The total course credit units in a minor program can be in the 18-24 range.<\/li>\n

  8. To be eligible to apply for admission to a minor program, the cumulative GPA (CGPA) of a student has to be 3.0 or greater.<\/li>\n
  9. Course transcripts for minor programs are kept separately from major programs. GPA\u2019s for major and minor programs are calculated separately from each other. A student\u2019s major program transcript does not include courses taken as part of a minor program.<\/li>\n

  13. Outgoing exchange students may apply to substitute a single course they have taken and succeeded at a foreign institution for an equivalent course in their minor program. Applications are evaluated by the relevant faculty or school board. A course taken during an exchange program cannot be transferred to both a major and a minor program.<\/li>\n
  14. To qualify for a minor program certificate, a student must complete all courses for the minor program with a C or higher grade and have a minor program CGPA of at least 2.5. A minor program certificate is not equivalent to a diploma.<\/li>\n

  17. A student enrolled in a minor program may take a maximum of two minor courses per semester. An additional minor course may be taken if approved by the relevant dean or director.<\/li>\n
  18. Minor courses will be listed in the minor transcript even if the minor program is terminated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
