Minor Requirements
Minors consist of a coherent set of related courses in a particular discipline or interdisciplinary area. Choosing a minor gives students a way to further explore an area of interest or expand their scope of knowledge to strengthen their career possibilities.
Here are some specifics:
- Minors require 20 units or more, and where possible, advanced level courses.
- Ten units or more, depending on the specific program, must be taken at the University of the Pacific.
- Courses that count toward a minor cannot be taken on a “pass/no credit’’ basis.
- Students must take at least 3 courses totaling a minimum of 9 units which count only for the minor.
- Students may not take a major and a minor in the same discipline.
- Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in a minor program.
To add a minor, complete a Program Change form, available on the Office of the Registrar’s web site.
