Ph.D. Minor

A Ph.D. Minor is a program outside a major department. A minor is not a requirement for any degree, but is available when agreed on by the student and the major and minor departments. Acceptance of the minor as part of the total Ph.D. program is determined by the major department.

Application for candidacy must be approved by both the major and the minor department. Ph.D. Minor Application forms can be found at registar.stanford.edu/shared/publications.htm.

For a minor in Electrical Engineering, the student must fulfill the M.S. depth requirement, complete a total of at least 20 units of course work at the 200-plus level in Electrical Engineering (of which 15 units must be graded) and be approved by the department's Ph.D. Degree_Committee. Be sure to list the course number, title and units of each course on your PhD Minor form. A grade point average of at least 3.35 on these courses is required. Forms are turned into EE Student Services.
