| Resource statement: |
| The required courses in these minor areas of study all have multiple
sections. Most are not in such high demand that other students could not register. Some faculty assignment to courses could be adjusted if demand differs from the present to cover any necessary changes. There are various list of courses from which to choose in these minor areas of study such that the flexibility allows additional students to register and not unduly burden the School. |
| Web components statement: |

| Rationale: |
| This minor is created to enable students to take a coherent sequence of public communication courses and to receive recognition for having done so. There is presently no minor in public communication. |
