Minor Fields of Study

Students may elect to complete one or more minor programs that complement a major field of study, enhance career opportunities, provide in-depth study in special areas of interest.

Minor programs at Keuka College consist of a minimum of 18 credit hours of course work. A minimum of one-third of the credits in the minor program must be taken through Keuka College. Students electing a minor must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 for courses in the minor program, unless otherwise stated.

A student considering declaring a minor should recognize that completion of both major and minor requirements requires careful planning beginning as early as the student’s first year, as some minor requirements are alternate-year courses, and some major programs provide little scheduling flexibility. Students wishing to declare a new minor must submit a Change of Program form to the Registrar’s Office. 

Students receiving Title IV funding must attempt minor and major course requirements concurrently. Students are prohibited from declaring a minor if the coursework extends beyond the time to complete their major requirements. Students who wish to request an exception to this policy must contact the Registrar’s Office for approval.
