Declaring This Minor
Schedule an appointment with the Academic Advisor for your primary degree program.
If your major falls outside of the College of Education, you can discuss and declare your desired minor with an advisor in that other college. To find your Academic Advisor, click here.
Why declare the Human Resource and Development minor?
This minor is meant to be paired with a host of diverse majors across the University!
- Majoring in computer science? This would better equip you to offer technology-related trainings in the workplace.
- Majoring in healthcare or business administration? This would prepare you to train employees in a hospital or business setting.
The HRDT minor is housed within the Department of Counseling, Leadership, Adult Education, and School Psychology; to visit their page directly, click here.
Degree Planning and Sequencing
NOTE: Information included on checksheets is subject to change.
For the most updated information for each degree plan, students should refer to the appropriate Undergraduate Catalog and track their progress using a Degree Audit. Additionally, we encourage all students to meet on a semester basis with the Academic Advisor for their major, who will also offer guidance about course planning within the minor.
While students may continue following a catalog year degree plan for six years, other planning factors such as course offerings or rotations and prerequisite sequencing are subject to change each year. For that reason, the most current degree plan sequencing guide is available below; students with questions about navigating older degree plans are encouraged to meet with an advisor.

Transfer Planning
NOTE: This resource is intended to help you PLAN AHEAD, so be sure to reference the link below before taking transfer coursework whenever possible.
Students planning to earn college credit at another institution for eventual transfer to Texas State should refer to the Transfer Equivalency Guide to determine how that coursework would be evaluated by Admissions.
Minimum Requirements for Graduation
All Texas State students must meet the University's minimum Grade-Point Requirements for graduation, including a 2.00 Minor GPA if declared.
Substitution Requests
You may request evaluation of a course taken previously or that you plan to take to confirm whether it is equivalent to a degree requirement in your minor.
If approved, provide documentation of that approval to your advisor in order for the course substitution to be reflected on your Degree Audit.
