Students must take CMST 101 Public Speaking - OC (3 credits)  or CMST 110 Introduction to Communication Studies - OC (3 credits)  to fulfill their oral communication general education requirement, but these courses cannot be used as one of the three CMST courses for the minor. It is the policy of the Communication Department that the courses offered by the department (CMST, COM, DFX, EMB, HCOM, JOU, POP, PRE courses) cannot be double counted toward the majors and minors in the department unless the required course is the only option.

CMST minors must earn a letter grade of C- or better as well as a 2.0 GPA in their minor courses.
