Over 100 minors are available to undergraduates across Cornell. Below are listed related minors, i.e., those minors whose required course line-up has content that relates to the initiative.
For handy reference we list these required courses. They are sometimes specified via a short menu from which the student makes a selection. Many of these courses are crosslisted which is important from the standpoint of administration, commitment and advertising. click on the course link to see the full Courses of Study entry.
Selected by faculty experts for inclusion in the minor, these courses are “pre-certified” as academically rigorous exposures to the field.
