Notes

Departmental permission is not required to enroll in this minor.
For students in FNR majors, courses required in the student’s major cannot be used to meet more than 6 credits of selectives for this minor.
Other courses taught under a temporary course number can be used for individual selective lists with FNR prior approval.
ILS 29500 and FNR 49800 are currently being taught under temporary course numbers, but are in various stages of transitioning to permanent course numbers. Selective lists will be updated in the future to reflect those permanent course numbers.
