Other Information

This minor is available to students in all majors. A minimum of two 2000-level courses for the minor will be offered each semester. Typically, HDF 2205, HDF 2410 and HDF 2610 are offered in the fall semester, and HDF 2010 and HDF 2890 in the spring semester. Students should be aware that completion of the three different 2000-level courses required for Track A may take at least two semesters. Students seeking to follow Track B should be aware that it will require at least three semesters to complete since HDF 2610 (Fall) and HDF 2890 (Spring) are prerequisites for all 3000-level HDF seminar courses.
