Program Description
The Minor in Robotics provides students with a foundation in the fundamental areas of the interdisciplinary field of robotics. Together with a degree in engineering or computer science, the Minor in Robotics prepares students for careers and graduate studies in robotics.
Applying for the Minor
Apply for a minor in Albert using the link in the My Academics section of the Student Center.
Students should apply for the minor before applying for graduation. After applying for the minor, the application is then forwarded to the Home School Advising Office, Host School Advising Office, Host School Department/Program, and the Academic Dean’s office.
The departmental advisers governing the minor will have access to approve or disapprove the minor online using the Graduation Tracking Search page. If a student is registered for a course for the minor during their last semester, the adviser can still set the status to departmental approved pending current courses.
Program Requirements
The minor requires the completion of 14 credits, comprised of the following:
