The student-designed minor originates with a student’s interest in issues or questions that cross disciplinary lines.
Admission into the Minor
Proposals for the minor are developed by the student in consultation with faculty and/or New College Director. Proposals require a clearly defined rationale and a tentative set of courses (including one activity that clearly integrates the program of study). This minor is restricted to residential students; New College LifeTrack does not offer minors.
The student-designed minor requires successful completion of the following 21 semester hours. Students pursuing a Self Design Minor are encouraged to take one New College course as part of their minor.

Grade Point Average
A 2.0 grade point average in the minor is required. Please see the Grades and Grade Points section of this catalog for an explanation on grade point average calculations.
Upper-level Residency
A minimum of six hours of 300- or 400-level courses in the minor must be earned on this campus.
Additional Minor Requirements
Students may apply no more than 15 semester hours of previously completed coursework toward the minor. Students are responsible for ensuring that they have met all University, College, major and minor requirements. However, each student must meet with an adviser in the major department for academic planning and to be approved for registration each semester. College advisers are also available for additional assistance with minor, College and University requirements.
