About Our Minors
Build on Your Major
Engineering minors at Cal Poly give students a way to expand their knowledge and explore new areas of interest. Whether complementing a major or pursuing a different focus, minors help students develop additional skills and a broader perspective within engineering.
A Flexible Addition
Tailor Your Path
Minors allow students to shape their academic experience by adding focused study in a specific area. They can strengthen a technical foundation or introduce a new discipline, helping students build a more well-rounded engineering education.
Engineering Minors
The College of Engineering offers two minors that are open to students from all majors across the university. These programs provide opportunities to develop technical skills that complement a wide range of academic disciplines.
Computer Science Minor
Build a foundation in programming, algorithms and software development through a minor that complements a wide range of majors.
Computing for Interactive Arts Minor
Combine computing with creative practice by exploring programming, digital media and interactive technologies.
Engineering in Practice
Across labs, project spaces and collaborative environments, students apply what they learn while exploring new areas of engineering. These experiences support both depth in a major and broader academic interests through minors.
