Minors

If you’re interested in declaring a Jonsson School minor, please meet with your assigned advisor to determine if this is a good fit for you. When you are ready to declare a Jonsson School minor, you can submit an online request. See instructions on how to complete this process.

Please note: If you are a CS/SE/CE major you cannot declare a minor in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Information Assurance due to the amount of overlap between your current major and the aforementioned minors.

Graduation Information

It is the student’s responsibility to let their advisor know they are graduating. Ideally, you will want to notify your advisor the semester prior to graduation. Your advisor will conduct your graduation audit (no appointment necessary) and will send you a follow-up email once the audit is complete.
Additional information regarding application deadlines, commencement, etc. can be found by visiting the Registrar’s website graduation page .
