Minor Requirements
New Minor Requirements
Hello HBK Minors (and minors-to-be)!
Below are the revisions to the Human Biology and Kinesiology Departmental Minor. These changes went into effect in block 8 of 2024. Please contact Dr. Murphy (emurphy@coloradocollege.edu) or Dr. Bull (abull@coloradocollege.edu) with any advising questions.
If you declared your Human Biology and Kinesiology Minor prior to Block 8, 2024:
Your HBK minor requirements will NOT be automatically updated. You will remain on your original degree plan unless you opt to transfer to the new 2024 plan below. You are invited to finish your minor as originally planned without any formal statement. However, if you want to follow the new minor guidelines below please contact Dr. Bull and indicate this.
If you declared your Human Biology and Kinesiology Minor after block 7, 2024:
You will automatically be declaring the minor below without exception. Please only select courses listed in the requirements below when applying for the HBK Minor. HBK does not regularly teach all the courses listed in the catalog or under the Courses tab above.
It is our intention that the minor plan below allows for greater flexibility so that students can have more freedom to explore the classes HBK has grown to offer as they relate to your personal and professional interests. HBK is excited for this growth and added flexibility!
