Psychology Minor

The psychology minor consists of six courses in the Psychology department.

• Psyc 001
• A course focusing on the neural basis of behavior
• A course focusing on the cognitive basis of behavior
• A course focusing on the social/clinical basis of behavior
• Any Psyc course as long as Psyc 001 is a pre-requisite
• A course in statistics (for engineers, this must be a high 400-level class)

Note that two psych courses may be used to fulfill the Natural Science reuirement. These classes include Psyc 109, 111, 121, 135, 151 and 153. The higher 400-level statistics class can count as a math elective. Therefore, three of the seven required SSH electives must be in Psychology, according to the guidelines. Refer to the Psychology website for specifics.

Fine Arts Minor

A minor in Fine Arts requires six courses in the Design school.

• FNAR 123
• FNAR 124
• FNAR 264
• One Art History course
• Any two studios of your choice

Note that DMD already DMD recommends a number of fine arts courses including Drawing, 3D Modeling, Animation, and Film and Graphics courses. Therefore, to obtain the minor, one of your seven required SSH electives must be the art history class.

Fine Arts Minor in Photography

The minor in photography requires seven courses from the Design school.

• FNAR 123
• FNAR 264
• One Photo History course
• Four photo courses

Note that DMD already requires five fine arts courses including FNAR 123 and FNAR 264. Therefore, one of your SSH electives must be the photo history course and another must be another photo studio class.

Architecture Minor

The minor in architecture requires eight course units.

• ARCH 201
• ARCH 202
• ARCH 301 (2 cu)
• ARCH 302 (2 cu)
• ARTH 001
• ARTH 002

Note that architecture courses can be counted as fine arts classes, though you cannot take only architecture classes to satisfy the five-credit fine arts requirement of the major. To obtain the minor, you must devote a significant portion of your SSH and/or free electives to architecture and art history.

Math Minor

The math minor consists of seven course units.

• MATH 104
• MATH 114
• MATH 240
• Any one of: MATH 313, 350, 370, 412, 502
• Three additional math courses from any math course numbered 210 or above

You can count one of CSE 260, CSE 320, PHYS 150 or PHYS 151 as one of the three additional math courses. DMD currently requires six Math courses including MATH 104, MATH 114, CSE 262 (counts as being in the Math Department), in addition to CSE 260 and two electives. If you carefully plan your course selection, to complete a minor, only one credit is needed by taking another Math as a SSH or Free Elective or a cross-listed CSE course. Also refer to the Math website for specifics

Cinema Studies Minor

See the web site for more specifics about the elective courses. Approved Cinema Studies courses may be used in the COMM/FNAR requirement.

• CINE 101 (Film History)
• CINE 102 (Film Analysis and Methods)
• 5 Other Electives

CSE Minor

If you stick with DMD, you are doing more CSE coursework than what is required for the minor. However if you are thinking of switching majors, you might already have a CSE minor, which consists of six course units.

• CSE 120/130
• CSE 121/131
• Any three other CSE courses (*CSE 110 only counts if it was taken before 120)
