All courses in the information science minor are taken in the Department of Information Science. The minor in information science requires one introduction course (4 credits) and one literacies course (3–4 credits), then allows students to personalize by selecting two of any level INFO courses (6–8 credits) and two upper-division INFO courses (6 credits). Courses may not be applied to both the required courses and personalization areas. Courses may be used only in one area.
Information science majors may not receive an information science minor nor a data science minor. Students may not receive both the information science minor and the data science minor.
Requirements
All coursework applied to the minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better (no pass/fail work may be applied). The GPA for all coursework attempted in the minor department must be equal to 2.00 (C) or higher. Students may apply no more than six credit hours of transfer work, including three hours of upper-division credit.
