Minors
The Guilford curriculum features interdisciplinary and disciplinary minors that provide coherent plans of study for students with special interests apart from their majors or who wish to pursue further study related to the major. Every minor at Guilford must require at least fourteen credit hours.
Students must take at least 44 credit hours to meet this requirement: at least 30 discrete credits for the major and at least 14 discrete credits for the minor. The discrete credits counting in the major are not allowed to count in the minor and the discrete credits counting in the minor are not allowed to count in the major. In the case where a student wishes to use a single course to fulfill requirements for both a major and a minor, she or he may do so as long as the 44-hour minimum is maintained (this may require taking additional courses).
There are two restrictions on choosing a minor in relationship to majors: Students cannot choose a minor that has the same name as their major. For example, English majors cannot choose an English minor. Students cannot satisfy the minor requirement with a minor that has a note in its catalog description prohibiting students from combining this minor with their chosen major. For example, the forensic science minor description prohibits students from combining this minor with the forensic biology major.
