This minor, much like the major listed above, is for motivated students who are interested in pursuing a subject that is not housed in a single department or defined by a traditional discipline. A student will gather appropriate courses around a significant theme or research question. 

The proposed minor:

• Must be a minimum of 21 semester hours and a maximum of 30 semester hours.
• May have courses from no more than three academic programs.
• Must have at least four courses at the 3000 or 4000 level.
• Must be overseen by a faculty member in one of the disciplines comprising the minor.
• Interested students should contact the Interdisciplinary Major and Minor Director, David Bates David.bates@cuchicago.edu for more information, planning materials and an application.

Minors can be added to a major so long as the programs of study are different and all courses must be completed. A student cannot be awarded a degree with just a minor. Courses within the minor can double count in the major as long as 1/3 of the courses are unique to the major or any other minor.
