Minors

Concentrations in Functional Area Outside of HTM

Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation

 

Minors

HTM students interested in pursuing a minor are encouraged to make an appointment to see their academic advisor to discuss the requirements for the minor and how the courses fit within their plans of study. To see a list of recognized minors, visit the Minors page on the CFS Web site. HTM also offers an International Studies Minor/Jinling Module (pdf).

 

Concentrations in Functional Area Outside of HTM

The HTM faculty recognizes a core of knowledge in addition to the HTM major requirement courses within the major. We have selected seven of these areas as concentration areas.

Students may select 12 credit hours from a list of courses. (The international concentration is an exception with three additional courses needed besides foreign language 10100 and 10200. A study abroad experience is highly encouraged. Also, the finance concentration is an exception with three additional courses beyond HTM 14100, 24100, and 34100). These courses often are in the choices to fulfill general education courses, HTM emphasis courses, and free electives. In most cases, a concentration area would not require more than the 130 credit hours needed toward graduation.

These concentrations are for your professional development. Although a completed concentration would not show up on your transcript, it could be included on your resume to show added strength in the concentrated area.
