Course requirements for each minor are based on the USC General Catalogue for the year you started taking classes at USC. Details are available at http://roski.usc.edu/minors. Our minor programs range from 24-28 units, and additional units may be required due to course prerequisites.

We recommend students complete a class at USC Roski School of Fine Arts before starting a minor program. This is to familiarize yourself with our courses, and to ensure that a Fine Arts minor is well suited for you. Consult your major Academic Advisor to make sure that you have enough elective space in your academic program for a minor. It is also best to meet with a Fine Arts Academic Advisor before beginning a minor program. During this consultation, we will try to determine if you will be able to complete one of our programs. We will also discuss important information with you regarding catalogue years, the sequential nature of our classes, and what course order and timeline might be most appropriate for you.

Important USC minor requirements: Students may follow only ONE catalogue year for both their major and minor program requirements. Students must take at least four courses (at least 16 units) which are unique to the minor (i.e., not required to fulfill the student's major, another minor or general education requirements). All upper-division course work required for the minor must be taken at USC. All course work for the minor must be taken for a letter grade, with a minimum grade of "C" earned in each course.
