• Maximum of One Full Introductory-Level Elective Course
• Minimum of Three Full Comparative American Studies Minor Elective Courses

Declaring the Minor

Students wishing to minor in comparative American studies must have their proposals approved by the department chair.

Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor

The comparative American studies department will accept up to the equivalent of one full course of transfer credit to count toward the comparative American studies minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements.
