Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Minor Programs

The following information are guidelines governing minor programs:

  1. Minor programs are not required for graduation.
  2. A student may not take a major and a minor in the same subject.
  3. Courses used on the minor may not be used on the major unless prior approval has been given by the Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee. Where appropriate, overlap between the LAC/LAR and a minor is permissible unless specifically disallowed for an individual minor.
  4. Some minors need individual approval by a faculty member; others do not. Sheets describing the individual minor carry this information.
  5. Students need not file their minor programs until they file their graduation applications,that is, three quarters before they plan to graduate.
  6. Once a minor is on file in the college office, any changes must be discussed with the faculty adviser and/or the ASC counselor.
  7. No more than ten hours of transfer credit may be applied to any minor.
  8. No grade below a C- will be permitted in courses comprising the minor; the minimum overall PCHR of the minor shall be 2.0.
  9. Courses taken on a Pass/Non-Pass basis may not be applied to the minor.
