Declaring Your Minor
It is most important that you declare Irish Studies as a Minor online by following the steps below. This will facilitate advising and allow you to track your progress.

Go to Campus Connect and select
- “Self Service” (Located in the left hand column)
- “Academic Planning”
- “Change College Major, Minor”
- “Dropdown menu and select: Irish Studies”
Once you have declared Irish Studies as your minor you will have access to your progress and can search for Irish Studies courses on Campus Connect through a “DPR” (Degree Progress Report) under “What If” for the Irish Studies Minor.

Topical Courses: Courses marked *** are topical courses, which may qualify as an Irish Studies course, but not always. Only when an Irish topic is offered — as given in the examples in square brackets in the list of courses above — will it count for the Irish Studies Minor. For topical courses, be sure to contact the Director of Irish Studies to confirm and update credit(s) towards your Irish Studies Minor.

Any new topical courses that qualify for the Irish Studies Minor will be listed in the “Courses” section of our website.

Please contact the program director, Mary McCain at mmccain@depaul.edu for advising or any questions concerning the program.
