Note: For a class to count towards the minor, a grade of C or higher must be earned. To complete the minor, a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.50 must be earned in HTMT courses counting towards the minor.
When a student’s major requires one of the courses included in the Beverage Management minor, that course cannot be used to fulfill both the requirements for the major and the requirements for the minor. Where such overlap exists between the requirements of the major and the minor, the student will need to take additional selected coursework. In addition, a course cannot be counted twice towards the minor (i.e., a course cannot count as a required course as well as an elective course).
* A list of special topics courses approved for the beverage management minor will be kept by the Undergraduate Coordinator for HTMT.
