Minors are available only to students electing an off-campus major in lieu of a regular HMC major.

Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Engineering
Mathematics
Physics

Biology
Biology 52 (required in Core), Biology 54 and four additional biology courses, at least one of which must be accompanied by a lab.

Chemistry
A minor in chemistry shall consist of a coherent group of at least four courses beyond the required Core in two or more areas of chemistry, i.e., analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical. The minor must include laboratory experiences in at least two different areas beyond general chemistry (Chem. 21-22) and be approved by the minor advisor.  (Chemistry 56 and Chemistry 58 together count as one course.)

Computer Science
Math 55, CS 60, CS 140, one of the following: CS 105, CS 121, CS 131, CS 142, and any other upper division CS course chosen with the consultation and approval of the minor advisor.

Engineering
The Engineering Minor follows the same three-part model as the major.  Students must complete seven engineering courses, as follows:
(a) two Engineering Sciences courses—either E82, E83, E84, E85, or E106 and one follow-on course in the same discipline as the first; (b) two Engineering Systems courses—E59 (taken as part of the College's Common Core) and E101; and (c) three Design and Professional Practice courses—either E4 or E111, along with E8 and E80.

Mathematics
The student will propose a program designed in consultation with his/her mathematics advisor. Proposals must be approved by the Mathematics Department Curriculum Committee and should consist of any four upper division mathematics courses (to include Math 55) which form a coherent concentration or survey program.  At least three must be HMC or HMC cooperative courses. Math Clinic and Senior Thesis are normally excluded.

Physics
Physics 52, Quantum Physics (3 units), and at least nine additional units of physics or astronomy chosen with the help of a physics advisor.
