International Minor

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Engineering is the only U.S. institution to offer an international minor in engineering as part of the regular degree program.  This program allows a student to concentrate course work in the social sciences and humanities on a particular country or geographical region.  This course work is combined with work or study overseas.  The international minor allows a student to gain a level of expertise in a particular area while receiving academic certification for this knowledge.
