| Total Credit Hours: | 54 |
and a minimum of 4 credits of approved electives. All courses must be taken for letter grade and at least one-third of the credit hours must be taken at Portland State University.
Course requirements for the minor also meet partial eligibility requirements for admission to the BSCE or BSENVE programs. Students who complete the requirements for the minor may wish to apply for admission to these programs. BSCE and BSENVE students cannot minor in environmental engineering. Students can schedule a meeting with an Engineering Advisor by calling 503.725.4631.
