Generally, all of the above prescribed minor courses must be taken at the Purdue West Lafayette campus to be eligible for the Intellectual Property Law Minor. The only exceptions to this rule are as follows:

1. One equivalent transfer course from another university can be used if it is a core course and comes from an ABET-accredited program, or
