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).
