for the minor takes place within the department by a faculty member or staff member. Follow the steps using the &quot;Declare a Minor&quot; button on the department\u2019s website which may include instructions on how to select a faculty advisor if there is more than one to choose from.<\/p> <p>Students who already have an L&amp;S college advisor because their degree plan is in L&amp;S can discuss the minor with them as well since they will be familiar with any minor in L&amp;S. Students who are working on a degree from a 51ÁÔÆæ college other than the College of Letters &amp; Science will not need an L&amp;S college advisor for just a minor and one will not be assigned. These students should work with the faculty or staff advisor they receive as part of the minor declaration process or contact the department directly for assistance.<\/p> <p>Applicants who have not started classes at 51ÁÔÆæ yet who wish to declare a minor should wait until they are registered for their first 51ÁÔÆæ classes and then can declare the minor using the \u201cDeclare a Minor\u201d button on the program\u2019s website. If you have questions about the minor before then, contact\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/advisingtext>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"details-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/letters-science\/film-studies\/film-studies-minor\/\" rel=\"\">Academic Catalog<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/course-search\/\" rel=\"\">Schedule of Classes<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--color-head uwm-u-mt-40\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Contact<\/div>\n        <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                <h2 class=\"is-style-size-h5 uwm-u-my-10\">Prospective Undergraduate Students (not yet enrolled at 51ÁÔÆæ)<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">Prospective students, contact our admissions counselor at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:414-229-7711\">414-229-7711<\/a>.<\/p> <h2 class=\"is-style-size-h5 uwm-u-mb-0 uwm-u-mt-30\">Current Undergraduate Students<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">General questions such as how to declare, how to change a major, general education requirements, etc. should be directed to the college advising office at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ls-advising@uwm.edu\">ls-advising@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:414-229-4654\">414-229-4654<\/a>.<\/p> <p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">Specific questions about Film Studies, such as research opportunities, internship opportunities, major requirements, etc., should be directed to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:zfinch@uwm.edu\">Zach Finch<\/a>.<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":19040,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uwm_academics_program_template":"page","_uwm_academics_program_navigation":[],"uwm_academics_program_card_image_id":0,"uwm_academics_program_banner_image_id":14734,"uwm_academics_program_sort_title":"Z-minor","uwm_academics_program_external_url":"","uwm_academics_program_jump_details_btn":true,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_programs_archive_page":false,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_programs_block":false,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_department_page":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"program_group":[187],"program_tag":[],"program_type":[121],"program_format":[130],"program_department":[],"class_list":["post-14733","program","type-program","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
