Policy Statement

A minor is an academic program of at least 18 credits (9 at the junior/senior level) that supplements a major degree program. Students cannot be awarded a minor in the same academic discipline as their major or emphasis area.

Major discipline faculty determine and indicate on the degree audit system any minors that cannot be awarded due to both major and minor drawing from the same discipline content.

Completion of an approved minor is recorded on a student’s transcript. Minors are included in program requirements, the degree audit system, and the UMKC Catalog.

Reason for Policy

This policy was developed to support student academic success and to provide consistent, quality delivery of academic programs and services.

Who Should Read this Policy?
