Systems Science and Engineering, Minor

System engineering (SSE) helps us to understand what happens when we compose many elements, each with their own behavior, and helps us understand how to design and constrain the individual elements to engineer desired behavior for the composed system. Students can pursue a SSE minor by completing six courses that includes decision making, data processing and modeling, simulation, and design of systems.

SEAS Second Major or Minor Option

Students interested in declaring a second major (College students only) or minor with SEAS should check the website of the department overseeing the major/minor for the requirements. Students are encouraged to reach out to the department staff if they have any questions or would like to discuss the requirements and/or their plan of completion. Students then must submit the Declare/Update Field of Study PATH form, which will go through multiple approval steps before the major/minor is added to the student's record.
