No grade lower than C will be accepted toward the Communication minor.

Application: Applicants for the Communication minor must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.50. Before completing 6 hours of Communication coursework beyond the public speaking requirement, students interested in securing an academic minor in Communication must submit the application form to the standing Communication Minor Committee for review (the application form is available on the department website). The Committee encourages proposals designed to meet the particular student’s need.

Disposition: Students will be provided written documentation of the Committee’s decision within a reasonable time after application. If the application is approved, it is the student’s responsibility to complete all necessary paperwork to obtain official university standing in the Communication Minor.
