How do I apply for a minor?

[chemistry30]

<p>Hi, i’m going to be a freshman this year at Cornell and i’m interested in minoring in archaeology but I have no idea how to apply for the minor. The website gives almost no information on how to apply. I’d like to start my freshman year so that i could spread the courses out over four years instead of three. Can anyone help give me some information about how I could get into the minor. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I believe this is what you are looking for:

Students in Cornell schools and colleges other than Arts and Sciences may elect a concentration in archaeology. To concentrate in archaeology, the student must complete five courses, all with a grade of C or better. The five courses must consist of either (1) Archaeology 100 and four other courses from categories II-IV (described above), at least three of which must be basic courses, or (2) five courses from categories II-IV, at least four of which must be basic courses. Concentrators are encouraged to gain some fieldwork experience. They are eligible for Hirsch Scholarships in support of fieldwork on the same basis as majors.

<p>Thanks, but i’ve read this before. It doesn’t tell you how to actually get into the minor.</p>

<p>That would be something to ask your academic advisor when you first meet with him/her but at most school you don’t have to apply for a minor, you just take the classes as electives and then “point out” that you have completed the requirements for the minor, so that it gets listed on your transcript and diploma.</p>
