Minor/Guided Electives (6-15 hours)
Minors: CMS majors are encouraged to complete a minor concentration. Students should discuss options with their advisors, and they should then contact the department responsible for administering the minor for details on its requirements.
Educational focus: If you choose not to pursue a minor, you must consult with your CMS advisor to select electives appropriate to your educational and/or career objectives. All courses applied must be offered by departments within the School of Arts and Sciences.
Lower-division limits: No more than 9 hours of courses applied to Minor/Guided Electives may be 1000- or 2000-level.
Prerequisites: Many upper-division courses have prerequisites beyond the core General Education classes. Plan accordingly. Specific requirements are listed with the course descriptions in the Academic Catalog.
