Concurrent Majors and Minors

Multiple Majors

As a Mechanical Engineering student, you may earn degeres in more than one major. The majors may be within the same college or in different colleges. For more information, please visit the College of Engineering's Multiple Majors webpage.

Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering

To pursue concurrent mechanical and biomedical engineering majors, you must first be admitted into the ME program and then add BME as a second major. An application to pursue concurrent majors should be submitted to the department as early as possible. Find out more about declaring BME as your second major by contacting your academic advisor. 

Minors (Senate Policy 59-00) (Proposed Revisions) 

A minor consists of at least 18 credits that supplement a major. For the ME degree, required courses and technical electives can often be used to satisfy some requirements for a minor within Engineering. If carefully planned, some of these minors can be completed with only a few additional credits. Visit the ME technical elective website to see what required courses in the BS_ME program can be used to fulfill requirements for a minor.

See the Undergraduate Bulletin to learn more about minors offered at Penn State.
