ACADEMIC MINORS


Hilbert students have the option of completing a minor while pursuing their baccalaureate degree. While the degree of specialization offered by a minor cannot match the depth of knowledge provided by a major in the same discipline, a minor can offer students the following benefits:

  • It can satisfy the student’s personal interest in a particular subject area.

  • It can complement the student’s major field of study.

  • It can be used to enhance the student’s marketability in terms of career goals.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA


A student who wishes to pursue a minor needs to have achieved sophomore status and obtained the written permission of both the student’s own department chair and of the chair of the department offering the minor. The student must achieve a grade of “C” or better in all courses to be used as part of the minor.

Although a minor cannot appear on the diploma, it may be included on an academic transcript, thus providing the student with official documentation of this additional study.
