New Minor Requirements

Hello HBK Minors (and minors-to-be)!

In the drop-down are the long-speculated and long-awaited revisions to the Human Biology and Kinesiology Departmental Minor. These changes will go into effect in block 8 of 2024.

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 updating your catalog year to the plan below allows for a more flexible schedule, instructions on how to update your catalog year will be posted in the Fall of 2024. To be clear, this means there is nothing for you to formally complete until the Fall of 2024.

If you declare your Human Biology and Kinesiology Minor after block 7, 2024:

You will automatically be declaring the minor below without exception.

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!
