It simply means that nine total credits of 300 or 400 level course work must be taken that are not from the same program as a student's major.

	Academic Minor. To fulfill the requirement in this way a student must: 1. Choose an Academic Minor to fulfill. 2. Fulfill Six Credits of 300 or 400 level courses outside of their major (this usually happens automatically within a minor). The Music Minor is exempt from these six credits. An academic minor consists of at least 15 credit hours.	Total Credits: 15-32 (depending on the Minor)
