The interdisciplinary Career Readiness minor will supplement the preparation of students from majors across the university through acquisition of knowledge and skills directly related to career readiness as identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Aligned with the framework established by NACE, the foundation of career readiness gained in the minor will enable students, regardless of their field of study and career interests, to develop and demonstrate, “core competencies that broadly prepare the college educated for success in the workplace and lifelong career management.”
The Career Readiness minor requires 15 credit hours as noted below. A grade of C (2.0) or better (or P for courses using Pass/Fail grading) is required in each course completed for this minor.

Interdisciplinary Minors
Interdisciplinary minors require the student to complete a minimum of 15 to 21 hours from a list of specific courses. Unless otherwise noted, a student may take no more than 6 hours of courses from a single department until he or she surpasses the required minimum number of hours necessary for completing the minor. Exceptions to this rule may be found within the discussions of several of the minors. In most cases, a student is also limited to just 3 hours of credit toward the minor in the same department or discipline in which he or she is taking a major. Students must fulfill all departmental prerequisites for any course within an interdisciplinary minor. In some cases, advisors may approve course substitutions within these program requirements.
