Communications minor
The requirements of the Communications minor are designed to be met within a
four-year Baccalaureate program. The Communications minor will provide 24-28 credits towards the 120-credit minimum
required for a UFV Baccalaureate degree, the balance to come from the declared
major, plus electives. Of these credits, 12-16 will come from upper-level CMNS
courses. Students will be advised to choose a major prior to declaring a minor
in Communications. Formal declaration will be completed in consultation with the
advisor in their discipline and the Communications department.
