Minors
A minor represents a coherent program of study in a discipline other than the student’s major degree program. Successful completion of a minor program is recognized on the transcript and with a Minor Certificate at graduation. Recognition is thus provided for a significant education experience in another discipline.
All SES students have the option of minor studies within SES or across the other schools.
Guidelines for Minor Programs
For minor studies in SES please refer to the respective departmental pages. The general guidelines for a minor program in an engineering discipline are:
Minor programs will consist of a coherent sequence of a minimum of six courses. A minimum of two courses (minimum 6 credits) should be in addition to those courses required to complete a student’s major degree program (which includes general education courses).
The minor program must be in a discipline other than that of a student’s major program of study. As such minors are distinguished from options within the major discipline or any concentration within the student's major program of study.
The Minor Advisor may allow courses awarded transfer credit to be used but these must constitute less than half of those applied to the minor program.
A student may earn no more than two minors.
Entry to a minor program requires the student to have a minimum GPA of 2.5. In order for a course to count towards a minor the grade of C or above must be achieved.
