Other Information
This minor is available to students in all majors. While HDF 1050 and HDF 1650 are typically offered in the Fall and the Spring, students should be aware that HDF 1600 is typically only offered once a year in the Spring semester, and HDF 1200 may not be offered every year. 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 and that at least one course will have to be taken in the Fall semester, since only two different HDF 2000-level courses are typically offered in the Spring. 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. A social science research methods course is also a prerequisite for all 3000-level HDF seminar courses.
