2024-2025 Graduate & Professional Studies Catalog

GSPIA Minors


MID, MPA, and MPIA students may pursue a minor in any of the fields GSPIA offers as a concentration, including GSPIA concentrations offered outside of their own GSPIA degree. Students may not major and minor in the same field. Students may not minor in a field offered by another academic unit of the University of Pittsburgh outside of GSPIA. A minor typically requires students to take a total of 9 credits within the minor field; courses used to fulfill minor requirements may not simultaneously fulfill any concentration requirements or core requirements. Students may pursue more than one minor, but it is not typically possible to do so without extending the length of enrollment beyond the 48 credits required for graduation. Students are not required to declare a minor. To declare a minor, a student must submit the appropriate paperwork to their academic advisor by the end of their third term of study before graduation. MPPM students may not declare a minor.
