Minor Requirements

A minor in Creative Work requires 15 hours of approved coursework. A minimum of 4 courses (12 hours) must be taken in residence. A course listed as a capstone may count as a CW-elective if another capstone course is completed to fulfill that requirement.

Up to 6 CW-elective hours may be satisfied by an internship with local arts organizations, or by a suitable Senior Honors Thesis, with approval from the minor director. In addition, a Senior Honors Thesis or 4000-level approved course may satisfy the capstone requirement with permission from the minor director.

In courses used to fulfill minor requirements, a 3.0 minimum cumulative GPA is required for graduation. No more than two courses from this minor may be shared with other majors or minors. In each instance, further sharing with additional majors or minors is prohibited.
