Requirements for a Minor
Students have the option of taking additional courses for a minor. The subject of the minor appears in the final transcript, along with the title of the primary degree. Generally, pursuing a minor requires taking several classes in that area.

Minors are offered by individual programs. For example, a student in sport management may wish to pursue a minor in Marketing. In this case, the student's primary department is Sport Management and the department offering the minor is Marketing.

Departments that offer minors have their own requirements. For example, a minor in Marketing requires 15 credit hours from a specific list of marketing classes, while a minor in Communications consists of 18 credit hours from a list of classes in that department. Please consult the  for details on specific minors.

 Transfer Students

Students in the College of Education may transfer in some of their courses from other institutions. However, there is a limit to the number of transfer courses. Your academic advisor can assist in establishing course equivalencies for transfer credit. This service is especially recommended for those students who are planning to take a course elsewhere and transfer it to 萝莉社.

Transferring from a community college?
萝莉社 has worked extensively with Kansas community colleges to develop a list of courses that will transfer to the 萝莉社 College of Applied Studies. Called Transfer Guides, these lists cover transfer information and recommended courses. 

Additionally, 萝莉社 provides a service called Dual Advising. This provides you with an advisor in the 萝莉社 College of Education to help guide you as you prepare to transfer to 萝莉社. You can make an appointment to come for an in-person visit or phone call, with the Dual Adviser by filling out the  form.

Graduation from 萝莉社 requires a minimum of 121 credit hours, with at least 60 of those hours taken at a four-year institution and 45 of those hours taken at the upper-division level. Students seeking a bachelor's degree in sport management should be encouraged to take no more than 61 hours at a community college, unless seeking an associate's degree.

Does my course transfer?
Check to see if a course at another institution will transfer to 萝莉社 by using the  form. If a course has not yet been evaluated students may need to supply appropriate course descriptions and/or syllabi for transfer credit evaluations.
