Declaration of Minor

All students may choose to declare at least one minor or a maximum of two in an area of their interest if they so wish and these will be certified as such. These minors will require the approval of the Academic Adviser and the directors of the departments involved. Students must complete the requirements of the minor, before or at the same time in which they will complete the requirements of the degree. If the student cannot meet this requirement, they will not be able to declare a minor.

A minor will consist of a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 27 credits, according to the corresponding academic program. Student can opt for a minor that is within their bachelor’s program, according to the specifications in this Catalog.

For a minor that is not within the student’s course of studies, the student will take a minimum of 18 credits and a maximum of 27 credits in agreement with the curricular sequence of the corresponding academic program and the academic norms of this Catalog.

Minors may include courses of the major and they may not have hidden requirements. The courses of the General Education Program will not be included in a minor.

A minimum grade of C in the courses of the minor is required for the corresponding certification. Students must make sure they meet the satisfactory academic progress norms, the retention norm, if applicable, and the maximum time allowed for completing their program.

If students wish that the minor appears certified in their transcript, they must have to formally choose this, by submitting the appropriate form, in one of the campuses authorized to offer the degree. Students must take at least one course in the campus that certifies the minor.

The courses that belong to an academic program which requires a board test to practice the profession must not be used for a minor, if this interferes with the exigencies of that certification.
