With the approval of their advisors, students may receive technical elective credit for courses required in a minor. Please note minors are entirely administered by other departments, and they are the ones to contact for more information.

Minor in Actuarial Science (http://www.stat.ufl.edu)

This minor is designed to prepare students for careers as actuaries. The required courses cover the material for the beginning examinations and VEE credits leading to an associateship in the major national actuarial societies. A minimum of 12 hours must be completed at UF. All 41 credits must be completed with grades of C or better (no S grades). VEE credits require a grade of B or better in the designated courses.

To be admitted to the minor, students are expected to meet the admission requirements of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students pursuing the BSEE or BSCEN degree are not eligible for this minor.

The minor requires the completion of 15 credit hours of EEL-prefixed courses at UF with a grade of C or better. EEL 3003 and 3111C will not both count toward the requirements for the minor. At least one course must be at the 4000 level.

Minor in Materials Science and Engineering (http://www.mse.ufl.edu)

This minor is offered by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and is designed for engineering and science students with interests in materials science and engineering.

Materials concerns are critical to engineering design and analysis and new materials are needed for microelectronic packages, biomedical applications, super-conducting films, tool bits, cutting tools, construction, fuel-efficient engines and other industrial and scientific applications. This minor provides the academic background to understand materials design, selection and processing.

Students are required to complete a minimum of 15 credit hours of materials-related courses that complement their degree programs. Advisers are also available in Rhines Hall, Room 108.

Minor in Mathematics (http://www.math.ufl.edu/)
