Minor Courses of Study at Daytona Beach Campus
Not all minors are offered at all Embry-Riddle
locations. The university offers the following minors at the Daytona
Beach campus.
Minor courses of study are academic programs designed to satisfy students’ personal interests and to meet their professional needs. Students explore, in some depth, the offerings in a field of study. A minor course of study provides the student with significant
experience in a discipline organized around skills, methodology, and subject matter.
A minor program does not provide the depth of knowledge and experience as a major. All minors consist of 15-24 hours of coherent academic coursework. At least 6 hours must be fulfilled at the upper level. In addition, at least 6 hours of coursework applied to a minor must be completed at Embry-Riddle and at least 3 of those hours completed in residence must be at the upperlevel. Students must earn a 2.00 GPA or higher in the minor to complete that program of study successfully.
To gain the greatest value from their academic experiences, students are encouraged to select minors that complement their degree program and/or other minors they are pursuing. They are also encouraged to
declare a minor by the beginning of their senior year. Designed to include a minimum number of required courses, minors provide students, whenever possible, with flexibility in fulfilling program requirements. No more
than two substitutions (6 hours) are permitted in any one minor or in any combination of multiple minors. A student who seeks three minors could have two substitutions in
one minor, or one substitution in two of the three minors.
In addition to specific minors described in this catalog, students at the Prescott campus and the Aerospace Engineering Department at the Daytona Beach campus
may earn an interdisciplinary minor or a minor in one of the listed disciplines by meeting the following requirements:
1. Complete a Declaration of Minor form and submit to the Records Office.
2. Complete 15 or more credit hours in related courses (at least 6 of these must be completed in residence).
3. Complete at least 6 hours of upperdivision credit (at least 3 of these must be completed in residence).
4. Complete at least 6 credit hours in the discipline from courses that are not specifically required in the student’s degree program.
5. Earn at least a 2.00 GPA in the minor.
