Minor Requirements

A minor is a component of a bachelor's degree in an area of study in addition to the student's major. A student can choose a minor that complements their major or use this as an opportunity to explore an additional area of interest. Students can declare a minor when submitting an admission application or by filling out the Declaration of Minor form through the Office of the Registrar.

Minor Requirements

  • A minor from UAF consists of a minimum of 15 credits, at least 3 of which have to be earned at UAF.
  • Some minors may require department approval.
  • Students must earn a C- or higher in each course required for the minor unless otherwise noted.
  • Students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (C) in the minor.
  • The same academic catalog year must be used for the bachelor's degree and minor.
  • An Associate of Applied Science degree or certificate of at least 30 credits earned at any accredited college or university may be used to meet requirements for a minor in the Bachelor of Arts degree.
  • Students must satisfactorily complete the requirements for a minor before the bachelor's degree can be awarded. 

The Bachelor of Arts degree requires a minor. A minor is optional for the following degrees unless otherwise noted by the major:

  • Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences
  • Bachelor of Applied Management
  • Bachelor of Business Administration
  • Bachelor of Fine Arts
  • Bachelor of Music
  • Bachelor of Science
  • Bachelor of Security and Emergency Management

Students may use the What-If feature in DegreeWorks to review minor requirements and how credits already earned apply to the requirements. Results in DegreeWorks will be more accurate once the student's minor has been declared.
