Minors

See Definitions. Minors represent a second discipline as a complement to a major or concentration. Minors are especially useful for students considering careers in education, communications, business, the social sciences, the sciences, history, general studies, Christian ministry, or for students who are considering future graduate programs. Students are not permitted to complete a minor in the same discipline as their major.

Students may declare up to two minors. Minors are recorded on transcripts but not degree parchments. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all minor courses is required to earn a minor. Minors are not available to students in a diploma or certificate program. Courses at the 400-level cannot apply to a minor for students enrolled in a ministry program.

To gain admission to a minor in any discipline, students must apply online using the application form available at ambrose.edu/registrar/request-forms
