Minors

Engineering Minors and Campus Minors

As an undergraduate student in aerospace engineering,  you can choose from one of more than 90 approved subjects to study for a minor.  It's a great way to gain expertise in another field you're interested in and build your portfolio when it's time to search for an internship or job. For information about minors, please visit The Grainger Engineering Undergraduate Academic Advising Minors page.

Why choose a minor?

Majoring in aerospace engineering is academically rigorous. Adding to the mix a minor can bring the likelihood of a heavier course load every semester and probably fewer slots to take a lightweight elective. But, if you have a strong second interest area or want to increase your career options, adding a minor may be just what you're looking for. 

Read what students say about why they decided to major in AE and minor in a different discipline.
