The following information is part of Step 1: Program Requirements of the Course Registration Guide for options and minors for first-year students in Brantford. To view the remaining steps, consult the Course Registration Guide.
A minor is a secondary area of concentration in a subject that is different from your major. Minors are a great way for you to pursue other areas of interest and fully customize your degree. Most minors require 3.0 credits. The courses provided below will start you off on the right track towards a minor, but be sure to consult the undergraduate academic calendar for course selection in future years of your program.
Similar to minors, options are a great opportunity to turn elective courses into a focused area of study. An option is an enhanced minor, normally consisting of 4.0 credits, and will require a higher GPA than a minor (usually a 6.0 or 7.0 GPA). Consult the undergraduate academic calendar for course selection in future years of your program. The courses below will provide you with a good start toward the requirements.
Finding it hard to pick just one? You can complete a minor and an option. You can also complete two minors. If you are considering pursuing multiple minors or want to complete both a minor and an option, be sure to consult with academic advising. Their advice will direct you on the path to graduation.
To declare this option, you must achieve a GPA of 6.0 (C+) in MB105 and MB115. A GPA of 5.0 (C) is required in the EC course(s).
