- Two courses (eight credits) at the 200-, 300-, or 400-level
- Two courses (eight credits) at any level
- One portfolio course (one credit)
At least four of these 4-credit courses (16 credits) must be completed at Binghamton University.

- Independent Study: Students may only count up to four credits of independent study toward the minor.
- Double counting: Students may only count two of the six courses (eight credits total) toward the requirements for another major or minor.
