General Requirements for a Minor in the School of Engineering
Many of the School’s departments offer an undergraduate minor in Engineering to interested students. The requirements for each of the available minors are listed in this section of the CEE web site. To obtain more information, contact the Student Services Office at: CEE-ugquestions@lists.stanford.edu.
General requirements and policies for a minor in the School of Engineering are:
- A minor consists of a set of courses totaling not less than 18 and not more than 36 units, with a minimum of six courses of at least 3 units each.
- The set of courses should be sufficiently coherent as to present a body of knowledge within a discipline or subdiscipline.
- Prerequisite mathematics, statistics, or science courses, such as those normally used to satisfy the school’s requirements for a department major, may not be used to satisfy the requirements of the minor. Conversely, engineering courses that serve as prerequisites for subsequent courses must be included in the unit total of the minor program.
- Departmentally-based minor programs are structured at the discretion of the sponsoring department, subject only to requirements (1), (2), and (3) above.
