Guidelines for an Undergraduate Minor

Minor Programs consist of five to seven subjects, though generally six. These subjects may count as well toward General Institute Requirements and Departmental Program Requirements.
Subjects taken under the Junior-Senior P/D/F grading option cannot be used for a Minor Program.
At the discretion of the Minor Advisor, transfer credit may be used to fulfill a portion of the Minor Program. MIT subjects (including those taken through cross-registration) must comprise at least half of the Minor Program.
You may not take a Minor in the area of your major. Composite degrees in which the degree title expresses two different fields do not allow Minors in either field (e.g. SB in Mathematics with Computer Science, SB in Humanities and Science, or SB in Humanities and Engineering).
You may not earn more than a total of two minors.
Minors can be awarded only at the same time you receive the SB degree, and must be associated with a specific degree.
The Minor Program should be designated by the end of your sophomore year but no later than Add Date one full term before the term in which you expect to receive the SB degree.
Meet with the Minor Advisor in your chosen field to plan your program of study and complete an application form. Bring a copy of your unofficial transcript (available free of charge from the Student Services Center, 11-120) to the meeting.
You must file a minor completion form by the end of the third week of the term in which you plan to receive the SB degree - even if you are taking subjects in your final term to complete the Minor. $40 late fee. You risk not being awarded the Minor if the form is submitted late.
