Engineering Entrepreneurship, Minor
Penn Engineering offers a Minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship (EENT), complementing the core engineering disciplines. This Minor is designed for students majoring in engineering and applied science. However, it is open to all University undergraduates subject to available class space. Non-engineering students should check with their home schools to determine their eligibility to take the EENT Minor. All courses for the EENT Minor must be taken for a grade (no Pass/Fail).

SEAS Second Major or Minor Option
Students interested in declaring a second major (College students only) or minor with SEAS should check the website of the department overseeing the major/minor for the requirements. Students are encouraged to reach out to the department staff if they have any questions or would like to discuss the requirements and/or their plan of completion. Students then must submit the Declare/Update Field of Study PATH form, which will go through multiple approval steps before the major/minor is added to the student's record.
