Please note that if you choose a minor with fewer hours than is required for the minor section of your program of study, the hours in your minor will need to be increased to satisfy the total hours required for the degree.  If you choose a minor with more hours than is needed for your major program, the total hours for degree completion will be increased in order to satisfy both major and minor requirements.  Please consult with your Graduate Advisor to choose an appropriate minor for your program of study.

If you decide to change your minor, please complete the Change of Minor form.  You must obtain the signature of the Graduate Advisor prior to submission of the form to the Graduate College.  Graduate Advisors for the major/minor program can be found by accessing the appropriate program webpage: http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/Prospect_Students/Pgms_Apps/Masters.html.
