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. For students who are planning on completing this Arts minor within their degree program, please check the BA residency section of the calendar for how many upper-level credits must be completed at UFV in order to graduate with this program.
