Undergraduate Minors

Drexel offers a diverse range of over 100 different undergraduate academic minors, giving students the opportunity to explore their interests outside of their officially declared major.

Graduating with the addition of a minor demonstrates the breadth of their knowledge and their desire to get the most from their education. Drexel students can work with an academic advisor to declare a minor as early as their first year or throughout their Drexel career.

When meeting with the academic advisor overseeing your intended minor program, you are welcome to bring a plan of study from DegreeWorks that integrates the courses for your selected minor along with your major courses. Minor advisors are happy to help you with the details, so don't feel like your plan needs to be perfect before your meeting.
