General requirements for minors at UConn

Minors are available only to matriculated students currently pursuing a baccalaureate degree. While not required for graduation, a minor provides an option for the student who wants an academic focus in addition to a major. Completion of a minor requires that a student earn a C (2.0) grade or better in each of the required courses for that minor. A maximum of 3 credits toward the minor may be transfer credits of courses equivalent to University of Connecticut courses.  A plan of study for the minor signed by the department or program head, director, or faculty designee must be submitted to the Degree Audit Office during the first four weeks of the semester in which the student expects to graduate.  The minor is then recorded on the student’s final transcript. The minor may be chosen from any of those listed in the university catalog as minors.
