An ASU student who is pursuing a degree at any ASU campus may elect to add a minor offered at any other ASU campus.
Current ASU undergraduate students may pursue a minor and have it recognized on their ASU transcript at graduation. Minor requirements appear on the degree audit once the minor is added. Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate by the college or department of either the major program or the minor. Courses taken for the minor may not count toward both the major and minor.
Enrollment Requirements
The minor requires 18 credit hours of TCL course work, of which at least 12 credit hours must be completed at the upper-division level. A grade of "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better is required for all courses used toward the minor.
Core Requirements: (6)
TCL 201 Transborder Society and Culture I: Interdisciplinary Approaches, HU, C (3) or TCL 202 Transborder Society and Culture II: Contemporary Issues, SB, C (3) AND TCL 331 Mexican American History to 1900, SB, H, C (3) or TCL 332 Mexican American History Since 1900, SB, H, C (3)
The remaining 12 elective hours are taken from TCL courses, and must include at least nine hours of upper-division course work.
Depending upon a student's undergraduate program of study, prerequisite courses may be needed in order to complete the requirements of this minor.

Concurrent degree programs are specially designed academic programs which provide high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to complete two distinct but complementary bachelor degrees at the same time. Students must meet minimum admissions standards for both programs and be accepted individually by both colleges offering the concurrent program.
Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. ASU offers students two ways to earn concurrent degrees: by choosing a predetermined combination or creating their own combination. Predetermined combinations have a single admissions application and one easy to follow major map. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor. Either way, concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests.
