The Filmmaking Minor

The Filmmaking minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. All courses required for the minor must be taken on a letter grade basis. A maximum of 8 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.
