Choosing a Minor
For the B.S. and B.A. in Communication Studies and Corporate Communication, you are required to have one minor. Most likely, you’ll have enough free electives to do two minors or a double-major. The more you can diversify in your academic preparation, the more attractive you’ll be to future employers.
Most minors are 18 hours, but some also require pre-requisites. This is not a full list of minors, but rather a list of those most common for our majors. For a full listing of minors, visit the catalog (scroll to bottom).
