Request a New Undergraduate Minor

New Minor Template (2023 Word version)

Effective with the fall 2017 catalog, new undergraduate minors should be approved by the program faculty. Additional school approvals should be sought as needed pursuant to the school’s bylaws. As requested by Committee on Educational Policy and approved by Academic Senate on Feb. 17, 2016, all new minors must be submitted to Dr. Serenity Rose King, associate vice president for institutional success and decision support, who will review them for compliance with THECB and SACSCOC standards.

For assistance with minors, please email Dr. Serenity King or call 972-883-6749. Note: If the minor needs to be renamed or modified, please email Dr. Serenity King only before the request is submitted and routed through the annual catalog revision process. This will assist the Office of Institutional Success and Decision Support to maintain the University’s authorized program matrices.
