A graduate minor involves one program outside a student’s major graduate program. Students must receive a grade of “B” or higher or “S” in each course comprising the graduate minor. The completed graduate minor will appear on the student’s transcript after the student has completed the transcript designation form available through GRADFORMS (gradforms.osu.edu).
