A minor is a complement to a bachelor's degree requiring 18 to 24 hours of course work in a particular subject area. Almost any subject area can be chosen. Check your Undergraduate Catalog for a list of approved minors. A student may declare a minor at any point during the first term of enrollment up to but no later than the submission of the "Intent to Graduate Form" in your Senior Year. Students strongly are urged to declare a minor as early as possible. Minors are optional unless required by your specific major.
Eighteen to twenty four hours from a particular department may not be approved as a minor. Some departments have a "structured" or pre-approved minor. That's why it is important to visit with an advisor in the minor department.
The following steps will help you declare a minor:
- Meet with your first-year advisor and pick up a copy of the Undergraduate MINOR Declaration Change Form.
- Fill out the personal information on the form.
- Meet with an academic advisor from the "Minor" department. That advisor will list acceptable courses and an appropriate sequence for them, as well as any other requirements needed to complete the minor (GPA requirements, etc.).
- Return the form to the UCF Registrar's Office.
