Graduate Minor in ME

Graduate minors in Mechanical Engineering are available to students whose primary degree program is in another department at LSU. Students pursuing a formal minor in ME must include a representative from the Mechanical Engineering faculty on their graduate advisory committee, either as one of the first three members or as an additional appointed member.​

Coursework for a formal minor may overlap with that required for the student’s major; however, at least three (3) credit hours must be taken in addition to the requirements for the major. To complete a minor in Mechanical Engineering, students must take a total of nine (9) credit hours of graduate-level coursework in the discipline, including at least three (3) credit hours at the 7000 level. The selection of courses relevant to the minor emphasis is determined by the student in consultation with the Mechanical Engineering faculty member serving on the graduate advisory committee. A minimum GPA of 3.00 is required across all minor coursework.​
