- Courses from outside the Technology, Innovation and Pedagogy program may not count toward the minor.
- Students may request TIP courses not on the doctoral minor course list to be counted toward the minor. Such a request requires approval by the student’s advisor and the TIP program coordinator.
- This minor is not available to students in the Educational Technology or Technology, Innovation and Pedagogy degree or certificate programs.
