Cultural Expression, Human Experience, and Thought

Any student in the 20-22 catalog and beyond may apply for the CEHET minor. Students should talk to their major advisor about whether pursuing the CEHET minor is compatible with their academic program.

Students can apply through the minor and certificate inventory system. The CEHET minor is an “auto-approved minor.” It is listed under the field of study labeled “L A” (the College of Liberal Arts).

Applications are auto-approved upon submission. Once approved, students must contact their major advisor to make their minor declaration official. A minor must be officially declared to be recognized on the transcript.

Students must complete 15 credit hours from the “Cultural Expression, Human Experience, & Thought (Liberal Arts)” section of the appropriate University and Liberal Arts Core Course List. Students should be mindful that some of the topics courses listed in the third column of page 2 are topic-specific, meaning that not only the subject and number must match, but the title of the course as well in order to fulfill CEHET or minor requirements.

Courses chosen for the CEHET minor must meet the following criteria:

• 15 credit hours from the CEHET section of the University and Liberal Arts Core Course List
• At least 6 credit hours must be upper division
• At least half of the coursework must be taken in-residence at UT Austin.
• At least nine of the hours required for the minor must include coursework not used to satisfy the requirements of the student’s major. However, courses in the minor may fulfill other degree requirements such as general education requirements or required elective hours.
