    Admission to the Minor is open to students in any discipline if their faculty has a provision for a Minor and they have successfully completed 60 ch of course work and earned an average grade of C or better in all courses. Application to the Minor is normally made in the second year of a students program for admission in year 3.

Of these 24 ch, a maximum of 12 ch may be at the lower (1xxx, 2xxx) level. At least 6 ch of courses must be selected from each of the two groupings below.
