Minors
Students are required to complete either a minor or the Honor’s Program by the end of the spring semester of their senior year. Students are encouraged to declare early, as careful scheduling may be necessary to complete some minors. Generally, minors require 18-21 credits. A second major will be accepted as a substitute. The second major must be completed prior to matriculating as a graduate student in Professional Year II (Grad Year I) of the program. A listing of minors can be found at: http://www.ithaca.edu/hshp/depts/pt/docs/minorsbyschool/ Students are encourage to discuss minor options with their major/PT academic advisor.
Study Abroad/Study Away
We encourage students to take advantage of the study abroad/away program. Students interested should contact their major/PT academic adviser and the Office of International Programs (607) 274-3306 for further information. Study abroad activities should be completed prior to Professional Year 1 (Senior Year).
