Earning the minor before Fall 2022
Legacy requirements for ENT Minor
Before Fall 2022, ENT Minor candidates must take four core courses plus one elective from our full list of courses. Starting in Fall 2022, we have made the minor much more flexible – students may take one foundational course, followed by 12 credits, 6 of which must be from a core list of courses. These changes are fully backwards compatible, so students who planned their course progression with the legacy requirements will automatically satisfy the new minor requirements.
Restrictions
For students in the School of Arts and Sciences, a maximum of two courses used to fulfill a foundation, distribution or concentration requirement may be used toward fulfillment of the minor. There are no restrictions for students in the School of Engineering.
Course Attributes
All ENT courses include the following class attributes: BFA-Social Science, LA-Distribution-Social Sciences, SoE-HASS-Social Sciences.

How to get the minor
Declare the minor
Students must declare the minor with the Registrar’s office. Please visit the Major and Minor Declaration page to learn more about this process. You can complete this process at any point during your experience with the Entrepreneurship for Social Impact Minor.
Complete the Minor Certification Form
After declaring the minor with Student Services, students must complete the Minor Certification Form. This can be completed before you have finished all required courses and before you have received final grades. Once the form is approved, we will return a signed copy to the student’s email address. Students will then bring the signed form to Student Services before their graduation period’s deadline.
