Minors
Undergraduate minors are designed to allow engineering and applied science students to study, to a limited extent, a discipline other than their major. In addition to engineering minors offered by SEAS departments, new liberal-arts minors are available.
A minor requires at least 15 points of credit, and no more than one course can be taken outside Columbia. In SEAS departments with more than one major program, a minor in the second program may be permitted, if approved by the department.
