After the first term of course work, the student may request the thesis option or select a minor. Students may choose to finish either program with 6 or more hours of a resource area or a minor. Students consult with the communication studies graduate advisor to select the courses in a resource area, but students must consult and obtain the approval of graduate advisors in other departments to complete a minor. Minors often involve more than 6 hours of course work.
