Which Minor Is Right For You?
All TGI/DEC minors will provide students with the tools and growth mindset to flourish in their personal and professional life. Students will reflect deeply on profound purpose, embrace diverse perspectives, cultivate empathy, communicate confidently, and advocate for the well-being of others.
Each minor is designed to meet the career goals of students who have different interests. The following table can help you explore which minor is right for you.
Note: Most of the courses in entrepreneurship (ENT), engineering management (EM), and leadership and management (LM) are cross listed. If a student takes a course first in one minor and then decides to declare a different minor, they can usually count that first course as an elective for the other minor.
