HOW TO DECLARE MAS MINOR
For MAS PhD Students
Talk with your advisor that your will be adding MAS as your minor and to add it to your plan of study.
For Students Outside of the Program
Students will need to choose a Core MAS Professor to be their minor advisor who will also serve as a Minor chair during the students' comprehensive exam. In order to meet MAS Professors and assess if the Professor will be a good fit to the primary degree, students will need to register in the MAS course the Professor is instructing and during/after the course reach out to the Professor and inquire if the Professor can agree to be their Minor advisor/chair.
After the Professor has agreed to become the advisor/minor chair, when filling out the "Comprehensive Exam Committee Appointment Form" on GradPath - enter the professor's name under Minor Chair.
*Please note that you will need to satisfy the minor requirements on top of your Primary Ph.D. degree
At least one supporting minor of nine (9) or more units is required for the Ph.D. degree program per the Graduate College's requirement. If a doctoral student chooses two supporting minor subjects, each minor must have at least six units of coursework.
MINOR REQUIREMENTS
Students can choose to complete a minor with MAS or can choose to minor outside of the degree. If an MAS Doctorate Student will be choosing a minor outside of the department, the student will need to follow the requirements set forth by the department the minor is under.
