WIT Minor Program
The WIT minor program consists of 28 units (7 courses). Students select courses outside their major from at least two of the following disciplines: English, History, Mathematics, Modern Literatures and Languages, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science (see below for details). Because many of the courses in the WIT program also satisfy General Education requirements, students from diverse majors can complete the WIT minor by adding only a few units to their program.
Prerequisites
- Completion of one year of calculus (MATH 143) or the second year of a foreign language (FR 122, GER 122, or SPAN 122).
Please Note: Pending approval, the new prerequisites for the WIT minor program commencing Fall 2009 will be:
- The second quarter of calculus (MATH 142) or the fourth quarter of a foreign language (FR 121, GER 121, SPAN 121), or equivalent.
Requirements
To complete the WIT Minor, students must complete 12 units from Group A below and 16 units from Group B. Courses used to satisfy the 12 units in Group A and the 16 units in Group B must be chosen outside the student's major and from at least two disciplines in each group.
