Cluster Minor

Minor Description

(15 credits minimum)

The Cluster minor allows students a somewhat wider choice of course materials than is possible with the conventional subject-matter minor. The general requirement for the Cluster minor is 15 credits in courses at the 3000-level or higher, except where noted differently, chosen according to one of the plans below. Courses within the student’s major course rubric may not be included in the Cluster minor.

• Group I - Social Sciences: anthropology, criminal justice, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, sociology
• Group II - Life Sciences¹: biochemistry, biological sciences, genetics, microbiology
• Group III - Physical Sciences¹: chemistry, geology, physics
• Group IV - Engineering¹: courses in all engineering majors, plus engineering mechanics and engineering graphics
   

¹ No course in the 1000 series is acceptable toward the minor and not more than six hours in the 2000 series are acceptable.
