Policy

No more than six credits may come from the courses required in the student's major or any one department.

Ethics (Minor)

Overview

The minor in ethics recognizes both the interdisciplinary nature of many moral problems as well as the value of ethical reasoning and ethical theory. Employers state that moral decision-making is one of the most important skills they seek, yet this area is rarely recognized as a specific area of competency. Given the importance of ethics and moral reasoning for students’ own personal development, as well as its value for recognizing and resolving moral problems both in and out of the workplace, having a minor in ethics is a great way to prepare to deal with the complexity of the real world.

Interpreting Studies (Minor)

Overview

The interpreting studies minor is aimed at helping bilingual speakers become qualified interpreters, and is usable with all languages.
