2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog
2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog > Minors
Degree-seeking students can choose to complete coursework for one or more minors in addition to the coursework required for a degree/major. In order to have completion of the minor(s) noted on the official transcript, all requirements for each minor being pursued must be completed, and additional minors must not have more than 6 semester hours of course requirements in common with any other minor. As specified in the General University Requirements for Graduation policy, in order to earn the minor, a student must complete a minimum of six (6) semester hours of upper-level coursework in the minor from Athens State University.
Students cannot receive credit for completing minors that clearly overlap any majors being completed; for example, a student majoring in Biology cannot receive credit for completion of a minor in Biology.
Some degree programs require students to complete a minor (approved by the academic advisor) in addition to the coursework required for the degree/major. Some degree programs also require students to choose from a specific list of minors. These degree and program specific requirements are published in the appropriate degree/major section of the University catalog.
