Minors
To qualify for a minor in structural engineering, coastal engineering, water resources, green engineering, or environmental engineering, students are required to take 6 courses, and at least 2 of these courses in the minor must be overload courses. Completion of a minor indicates proficiency beyond that provided by the Stevens engineering curriculum in the basic material of the selected area. The minor program must be in a discipline other than that of a student’s major program of study and beyond the credit requirements for all other programs being pursued by the student.
