Minor coordinator approval required.

For completion of a minor, a student must have a minimum grade point average of 2.00 in all courses specified as a requirement for the minor exclusive of lower-level courses and prerequisite courses and complete a minimum of six hours in upper-level courses in the minor requirement through courses offered by Old Dominion University.

Three credit hours in the interdisciplinary minor may be in the major if a major course is listed as an option for the interdisciplinary minor.  As such, it will be credited toward both the major and the interdisciplinary minor.  Interdisciplinary minors require twelve credit hours of 300/400-level courses selected from at least two different disciplines with a maximum of six credits from any one discipline.  Course substitutions may be approved by the interdisciplinary minor coordinator.
