Academic Catalog

Credential Integrity

To ensure the academic integrity of separate, multiple credentials earned by students, advisors should: 

  • Advise students so that each academic major should have 45% of its courses unique from any additional major earned.    

  • Advise students so that each minor should have 8 credits unique from any additional major/minor earned.    

Students may not earn a minor that has the same title as their major. For example, a student who receives a history major may not receive a history minor. In these cases, the credential is redundant and subsumed under the major. It does not constitute a separate credential.    

This policy does not apply to overlap with the General Education program.
