Minors
Minors add breadth and coherence to an undergraduate education. In conjunction with a major field, a minor can help students achieve a more well-developed expertise in related areas of study.
Alternately, a minor can be used to achieve a well-rounded, broadened course of study that allows students to cultivate interests separate from their declared major.
Most minor programs at Ohio State are between 12-18 hours. Taking additional hours may add time to your degree. Students should work with their minor program and major academic advisor to determine how a minor may impact your time to degree.
The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering currently offers the following minor programs:
Surveying and Mapping
Download the surveying and mapping minor form.
- In order to enroll in these minor courses, students must have completed:
- MATH 1172 or 2153 and
- CIVIL ENGINEERING 2410
- Students are able to double-count or overlap certain courses towards both the Civil Engineering major and the Surveying & Mapping minor. You should speak with an advisor in order to determine which courses can be double-counted or overlapped, and which schedule would work best for you.
- Students who have declared this minor should contact Barry Tolchin (tolchin.5@osu.edu) or Liz Riter (riter.7@osu.edu) in order to register for any courses requiring permission.
