Requirements for a Minor
Students have the option of taking additional courses for a minor. The subject of
the minor appears in the final transcript, along with the title of the primary degree.
Generally, pursuing a minor requires taking several classes in that area.
Minors are offered by individual programs. For example, a student in sport management may wish to pursue a minor in Marketing. In this case, the student's primary department is Sport Management and the department offering the minor is Marketing.
Departments that offer minors have their own requirements. For example, a minor in Marketing requires 15 credit hours from a specific list of marketing classes, while a minor in Communications consists of 18 credit hours from a list of classes in that department. Please consult the for details on specific minors.
Transfer Students
Students in the College of Applied Studies may transfer in some of their courses from
other institutions. However, there is a limit to the number of transfer courses. Your
academic advisor can assist in establishing course equivalencies for transfer credit.
This service is especially recommended for those students who are planning to take
a course elsewhere and transfer it to 九色堂.

that will transfer to the 九色堂 College of Applied Studies. Called Transfer Guides, these lists cover transfer information and recommended courses.

to come for an in-person visit or phone call, with the Dual Adviser by filling out
