tra/curriculum/FCASpolicies.phpMinors

• 25-35 credits
• A minimum of 50 or 15 credits, whichever is
  greater, of 300/400 level courses.
• A student cannot receive a minor in their major.
  (see Interdisciplinary Minors)
• A minimum of 50 or 15 credits, whichever is

• Minors may request a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA
  for courses applied to the minor higher grade

Interdisciplinary Minorshttp//depts.washington.e
du/registra/curriculum/FCASpolicies.phpinterdisMi
nors

• Interdisciplinary minors are minors that are
  composed of courses and content that come from
  more than one area of study. The first four
  interdisciplinary minors offered by the
  University are in Marine Biology Education,
  Learning, and Society Quantitative Science and
  Values and Society.
• Interdisciplinary minors were created because
  students are not allowed to minor in their major,
  but at times the content overlap between the
  major and an Interdisciplinary minor is
  unavoidable. To ensure that students are
  satisfying the intention of the rule disallowing
  a student to minor in their major, FCAS created
  the following policy.
• Interdisciplinary minors must require that 60 of
  the coursework applied to the minor is take
  outside of the student's major requirements. This
  means these classes may not apply both to the
  satisfying major requirements and
  interdisciplinary minor requirements. Note These
  credits can count towards the 180 credits
  required for graduation.
• The minor should require some type of
  Capstone/Colloquium/Seminar/Cumulating
  experience.
