HSS Minors

color & design

Many students elect to add extra value to their technical degrees by pursuing a minor. The Humanities and Social Sciences Department offers 14 different minors in various academic disciplines and interdisciplinary programs. Minors require a concentration of 5 to 7 HSS courses in that area. (NOTE: All minors require taking one additional HSS course, for a minimum of 40 HSS credits (44 in the case of foreign languages). See the specific requirements listed under each minor.) Minors are indicated on your official transcript upon completion. You will also receive a certificate and an invitation to the department's senior recognition dinner. If you are interested in pursuing a minor should consult with the appropriate minor adviser, listed below.
