Minors for Students Majoring in Materials

Students majoring in Materials Science and Engineering are encouraged to take a minor in another field.

In three cases, where the match between the major and the minor is particularly good, the Department has made specific arrangements with the corresponding departments to establish minors. These are for minors in Chemical Engineering, in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering and in Polymer Science and Engineering.

Many other minors are possible and encouraged, including minors in other engineering departments (Computer Science, Environmental Engineering) as well as in other colleges. There are about sixty minors available in the College of Arts and Sciences, reflecting a very broad range of interests. There is a minor in Education. A minor in Business has recently been started. In these cases the student makes arrangements directly with the department in question.
