Do only classes taken for free electives count for minors? or If I have taken a class that is a requirement for my major can it also be used to count towards the minor?

you talking about say an Engineering major, minoring in math and being able to count all the maths you had to take right?

Here is a list of all minors and the contact persons for each.

For a minor in Mathematics the contact info is:

He should be able to answer your question definitively.

yeah, the only time it doesnt, as far as i know, is when you CANT minor in something. ie an accounting major cant be a business minor bc their major requirements also fit the minor requirements.

Yes

All the classes you take are applicable toward any major or minor. If you plan it well your free electives can do double duty and often satisfy a similar minor
For example
Major= Microbiology
Minor = Genetics
I only had to take one extra class because I used my major requirements and free electives

Sweet. I will probably do a minor in Political Science then. It looks easy and I have to take several PS classes anyway.

^^ I did the same with a degree in zoology and a minor in botany. I had to take 2 extra classes but I could have gotten away with one if I had planned the minor earlier.

Does anyone who has a done a minor before know how many forms you need to fill out? Do I just need to do the declare minor form? Also I don't think I will even need to take any extra classes to get the minor, they will all go into my requirements or free electives.

There's another form/card you fill out when you submit your blue card. the blue card is for your major, the other one is for your minor. That should be all you have to do
