With approximately fifty minors (and concentrations) from which to choose, students may wish to consider obtaining a minor. Due to the required course load in Engineering however, a minor must be carefully planned. In all cases, it is the student's responsibility to apply for the minor that she/he would like to pursue. The application will always be through the program offering the minor, not the College of Engineering in general. Please note that registering for, or sitting in, courses that count towards the minor does not constitute acceptance into the minor.

Interested students should always discuss the minor of interest with their academic advisor before pursuing.
