The Optional Undergraduate Academic Minors

A student’s program of study must include courses in General Studies and the academic major, and may also include electives and an optional minor. A student may minor in any department of the University that offers the required number and level of courses. Additionally, a minor in East Asian Studies is offered through the Institute of East Asian Studies.

A carefully chosen minor provides substantial grounding in a field other than that of the student’s major and adds breadth and depth to the educational experience.

• The number of hours required for a minor at Dallas Baptist University will be no less than 15 credit hours in one subject matter area.

• Several minor programs require additional hours and specific course work. (For specific information, refer to the college offering the minor program).

• The student should consult his/her advisor regarding declaration of a minor.
