Programs of Study The School of Fine Arts
A minor is a specific program to be taken along with a major to complement your skills and increase your career opportunities. Taking a minor is optional. Minors do not automatically fulfill the Thematic Sequence requirement. A minimum 2.0 g.p.a. is required for all courses in a minor. Additional requirements and qualifications for minors are included in the Other Requirements chapter. Students who complete a minor receive a notation on their final transcript if they make application when they apply for graduation. Students may use a minor in lieu of a Thematic Sequence only if the minor includes a Thematic Sequence. For information on minors that include sequences, see the Office of Liberal Education. For further restrictions see the Thematic Sequence subheading in the Miami Plan chapter of this Bulletin.
