The Hutchins minor is designed to help the student in a traditional discipline understand the relation that his or her major field of study bears to a number of other areas of inquiry and expertise.

The minor consists of 20 units, taken in the Hutchins School, and is distributed as follows:

• Introduction to Liberal Studies (LIBS 302) 3 units
• Electives (LIBS) 12 units

In consultation with an advisor, the student selects 13 units of interdisciplinary core courses drawn from LIBS 304 and 308, from four Core Areas as well as workshops, internships, independent studies and other electives. These courses need not be chosen because of their specific relationship to the student's major. Rather, it is intended that through these courses the student acquire a breadth of exposure to the ideas of a number of disciplines.

• Senior Synthesis (LIBS 402), 4 units.

A final project that specifically relates the student's major field of study to other disciplines.

Total units in the minor: 20
