Minors
Minors can add extra value to your degree, boosting your professional appeal to employers and offering a key differentiator if you plan to pursue graduate and postgraduate degrees. 91ÉçÇøâ€™s minors are open to all undergraduate students and require only 15–21 credits, many of which might already be a part of your major’s requirements.
For more information, contact an advisor in the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising at advising@nyit.edu.
Declaring A Minor Is Easy
- Fill out the Application to Declare a Minor.
- Contact the appropriate minor advisor, who will provide details and sign off on your application.
- Email or drop off the approved form to the Registrar’s office (registrar@nyit.edu).
- Congratulations! You’ve added a minor!
Some Rules
- Plan to meet periodically with the advisor of your chosen minor(s) to ensure you stay on track with the requirements.
- The minor requirements are determined by the catalog in effect at the time that you declare the minor.
- The Application to Declare a Minor must be approved prior to applying for graduation.
- You must take a minimum of six credits in residence (at 91ÉçÇø) and they must be in excess of the requirements of your major and any other minor. (Departments/programs in which the minor resides may permit the inclusion of some major courses in fulfillment of the minor, where appropriate.) Non-major related electives in addition to courses used to satisfy the General Education requirements may count towards these six credits.
- You may earn up to two minors while at 91ÉçÇø.
- Upon graduation, your transcript and diploma will reflect both the major and the minor(s) earned!
