John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

A minor is a course of study that allows undergraduates a second field of specialization. Minors are intended to encourage and officially acknowledge students' attainment of knowledge in more than one academic field, with the goal of broadening their education.
A minor requires 18-21 credits in a particular field different from the students' major. Because many majors are interdisciplinary at John Jay College, some overlap may occur between courses appearing in a major and a minor but this should be kept to a minimum. At least 50 percent of the credits in a minor must be taken at the College and at least two-thirds of the credits in a minor must be graded on an A through F basis. A minor shall be completely optional for students and cannot be required by an academic program. Minor requirements must be completed with an earned 2.0 (C) grade point average.

A student who wishes to pursue a minor must consult the minor advisor or chairperson of the appropriate department or program as early as possible. Students should declare minors by the time they have earned 75 credits by submitting a Declaration of Minor Form to One Stop. Be aware that some minors may have advanced enrollment requirements, specific procedures for completing the minor, or requirements and/or restrictions concerning grades and courses, that may be used to fulfill the minor.

Upon completing a minor, students should see the minor advisor or department or program chairperson for their signature, certifying that the student has completed the minor. A form must then be submitted to One Stop. Completion of a minor is noted on the student's official transcript and will be conferred at the same time that the degree is conferred.$0 $0Minors may not be conferred retroactively upon students who have already graduated.
