We strongly recommended that you apply for this minor two years prior to graduating (end of sophomore spring semester), as long as you meet the requirements below. This will allow you to complete the required courses in time for graduating. There is a risk of not being able to complete the required coursework if you apply later than this recommended time.
Students in the counseling minor will be given priority to seats in the classes needed for the minor.
