Minor
In addition to completing the requirements necessary to constitute a major, a student at Southern Wesleyan University may complete one or more minors in certain disciplines.
A minor consists of 18 to 24-semester hours of specified courses in the discipline. At least six hours of courses in the minor must be taken under Southern Wesleyan University faculty.
Concentration
The term concentration designates an area of emphasis within a major. In some majors (religion, for example), a student must choose at least one area of concentration. In other majors (for example, English), a student may choose to remain a generalist or select courses that concentrate on an area of special interest. A concentration is a minimum of 12-semester hours as needed.
