College of Engineering Minor

This minor has been designed for Boston University students who are not in the College of Engineering but who want a general introduction to the concepts and applications of engineering. A 20-credit residency in the College of Engineering is required. A minimum grade of C is required in all courses fulfilling the minor. All course substitutions must be approved by the College of Engineering Undergraduate Committee.

Additional information can be obtained from the Undergraduate Records Office, College of Engineering, 44 Cummington Mall, Room 108.
