Adding Minors to Your Degree

Adding or Declaring a Minor

Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor when considering adding a minor to their degree plan. Each Lyle Department offers a minor program for Lyle majors and majors outside of Lyle. After a student declares their major, they are eligible to declare a minor. Students will declare minors with their School of Record and not necessarily with the school that offers the minor. For example, a student majoring in Biology will have Dedman College as their school of record and therefore declare a minor in Environmental Engineering with Dedman College. Similarly, a student who is majoring in Mechanical Engineering will have Lyle as their school of record and will declare their Computer Science minor with Lyle.
