Minors

Degree minors are a centralized and structured way to focus elective coursework on a coherent topic and signal this choice to future readers of your transcript.

We Offer Four Undergraduate Minors

  • Dava Newman holds and observes a metallic and plastic device with two students inside a classroom.

    Aerospace Engineering

    The Aerospace Engineering Minor develops the engineering-analysis and design skills necessary for creating and understanding aerospace vehicles and their subsystems.

  • Two students look at mechanical equipment.

    Mechanical Engineering

    The primary educational objective of this minor is to provide students from outside the Sibley School the necessary skills and tools to interact technically with mechanical engineers on various multidisciplinary fronts.

  • Students present during Cornell SmallSat Mission Design School

    Applied Mathematics

    Offered jointly with the Department of Mathematics, this minor is aimed at providing a focus for students who are interested in applied mathematics.

  • Hod Lipson works with a student in the robotics lab. The student is holding a cubic robot.

    Robotics

    The Robotics Minor covers the fundamentals of designing, building and programming robots, and in addition requires students to dive deeper in a specific area of robotics.

Degree Minor Recognition

Students who believe they have satisfied the requirements for a degree minor can submit any of the following forms to the undergraduate program office; if student classwork indeed satisfies the requirements for the minor, the minor will be indicated on your transcript. Forms are submitted before graduation and the indication of the degree minor on the transcript occurs shortly after graduation.
