Civil Engineering students can choose to either broaden their background or attain in-depth coverage of a particular subject by enrolling in a Minor Program. Minors are coherent sequences of courses that may be taken in addition to the courses required for the BEng degree. They normally consist of 18 to 24 credits, allowing up to 12 credits of overlap with the B.Eng. degree program. The real credit cost to the students is typically 9 to 15 credits and, if planned in advance, typically represent one semester of extra studies beyond the typical B.Eng. degree program duration.
For the full list of Minor programs avaialble to undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering, see Minor Programs | Course Catalogue - McGill University.
Civil Engineering students are most inclined to enrol in the following Minor programs:
- Minor in Applied Artificial Intelligence
- Minor in Arts
- Minor in Computer Science
- Minor in Construction Engineering & Management
- Minor in Economics
- Minor in Environmental Engineering
- Minor in Management
- Minor in Materials Engineering
- Minor in Mathematics
- Minor in Mining Engineering
- Minor in Technological Entrepreneurship
NOTE: Students must consult with their academic advisor before registering in a Minor program. All courses in a Minor program must be passed with a grade of C or better.
