Students who are currently in a departmental major may self-design an Interdisciplinary Studies minor combining courses from a minimum of two disciplines. Students will need to declare the minor with the Registrar’s Office (visit www.fredonia.edu/registrar for process). Students who are enrolled in any of the Interdisciplinary Studies majors may not declare a self-design minor.
