Minor Requirements
The McCormick School of Engineering offers TGS approved interdepartmental minors that enable students to enhance their credentials and marketability. The minor may only be pursued by McCormick master’s students in conjunction with a full-time degree program. For a list of available minors and links to specific minor requirements, visit the Master’s with Interdepartmental Minors page on McCormick’s website.
Coursework
- Students must complete at least three quality letter-graded course units (ABC, not P/NP or S/U) authorized for graduate credit. Individual minors may require additional courses or specific course requirements. See the descriptions for additional information. The Graduate School allows students to count courses above TGS’s 9 course minimum to count towards both the minor and master’s degree. Programs may have stricter requirements.
- Students who wish to pursue multiple minors may not count the same coursework for more than one minor.
Minor Awarding
- Minors will only be noted on the student’s transcript once the master’s degree is conferred. In the event a student does not earn the master's degree, the minor will not be posted.
- Questions should be directed to gradservices@northwestern.edu.
