Declaring the minor

Students in divisions other than the College of Communication and Information Sciences may apply the advertising or public relations minor coursework toward requirements in a degree program, subject to the graduation provisions of that division.

To officially declare the advertising or public relations minor, go to 412 Reese Phifer. You will receive a form outlining the minor coursework according to your catalog year.

Getting advised

Ms. Susan Daria and Ms. Tracy Sims provide advising for advertising and PR minors. You may seek advising from either one at any time during the semester. If seeking advice prior to class registration, sign up for an appointment outside the office of Ms. Daria (305 Reese Phifer) or the office of Ms. Sims (418-D Reese Phifer) at least three weeks before the first day of the registration period.
