Policies Governing Interschool Minors | University of Pennsylvania

College of Arts and Sciences students may pursue Interschool minors that draw on courses in Nursing, Wharton, and Engineering. Interschool minors are designated with an asterisk on the list of minors.

All College students must complete no less than 16 c.u. of coursework outside the major in the College of Arts and Sciences. This means that no more than 4 c.u. of non-College coursework (and in some cases, less) will count as electives toward their degree. Since interschool minors involve elective coursework outside the College, students considering such minors are urged to meet with a College advisor while planning the minor to be sure they will be able to graduate on time.

Policies Governing Minors

Minor courses must be taken for a grade (not pass/fail).
Students adding any of the interschool minors to their College programs may need to complete more than the minimum number of courses for graduation, since only the College courses in these minors will count toward the required number of College courses outside the major. They should consult a College advisor in planning their program.
It is not possible to do a minor in the Wharton School.
