In general, a HASS minor requires a total of 9 humanities courses including the Foundations of Writing and Critical Inquiry (HASS 103 and HASS 105). Beyond these courses, a minimum of six courses in the minor discipline must be taken. Depending on the discipline and with the approval of the advisor, these can be:

One 100/200-level course and five upper-division (300/400-level) courses

Or

Two 100/200-level courses and four upper-division (300/400-level) courses

Students must also take one upper-division course (which qualifies for humanities credit) in a HASS discipline outside the minor field.

For specific requirements for any HASS minor, please contact the minor advisor.
