Agricultural, Consumer, & Environmental Sciences Minor
for the Undergraduate Minor in Agricultural, Consumer, & Environmental Sciences International
This minor will help students prepare for life and work in a global society and will provide the international skills employers expect of our graduates. While it is the intent of this minor to encourage students to spend time abroad and to develop proficiency in a foreign language, neither is required.
Students enrolled in this minor will be able to draw on resources outside the college as well as select from courses offered by the seven departments in the College of ACES. At least 12 of the total 21 credit hours required for this minor must be College of ACES courses. At least 6 credit hours (ACES or non-ACES) must come from 400-level courses and must be distinct from credit earned for the student’s major or another minor. Courses in the minor cannot be completed Credit/No Credit.
This minor is administratively based in ACES Academic Programs. Student advising will take place in this unit.
