3	Minor/Certificate Name	Description	More Information on Required Classes and More
4	Anthropology Minor	The minor in anthropology provides students in other fields with a framework to pursue a specific focus within the discipline. It might be within a subfield of anthropology (e.g., biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology), in area studies (e.g., the Middle East, the United States), or in a specific topic (e.g., ethnicity, gender, the origins of the state, urban studies).	Anthropology Minor
5	Architectural Engineering and Design Minor	Students completing this program will learn architectural conceptualization, programming, and design implementation in conjunction with analysis of the engineering materials and systems used in the construction of buildings and other structures. A key element of the program is aesthetic skills, which will be honed through the creative iterations of design.	Architectural Engineering and Design Minor
6	Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Minor	This minor provides specific training for McCormick students interested in industries that create and manufacture bio-based fuels and industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and agents for gene and cell therapies or for those desiring in-depth preparation for future graduate study in biotech research.	Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Minor
7	Chemistry Minor	The minor in chemistry allows majors in other fields to complete a significant portion of the coursework required for the chemistry major. It allows the flexible selection of coursework from the traditional subdisciplines of organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry.	Chemistry Minor
8	Earth and Planetary Sciences Minor	The minor offers students in any major outside the department a flexible path to improved knowledge of earth and planetary sciences.	Earth and Planetary Sciences Minor
9	Environmental Engineering Minor	The minor in environmental engineering provides students with a sampling of foundational courses in addition to two electives focusing on environmental chemistry, microbiology, or transport processes.	Environmental Engineering Minor
10	Environmental Policy and Culture Minor	The minor in environmental policy and culture focuses on the human interaction with the environment. This includes the creation and enforcement of environmental regulations and agreements, energy policy, and how different cultures adapt to and view their natural environments.	Environmental Policy and Culture Minor
11	Geography Minor	The minor in geography supplements the academic programs of students who major in related social and natural sciences by training them in the theory and method of geographical analysis.	Geography Minor
12	International Studies Minor	The minor in international studies remains rooted in the diverse methodologies of an interdisciplinary program in international studies.	International Studies Minor
13	ISEN Certificate	The ISEN undergraduate certificate provides a means for Northwestern students to pursue interdisciplinary instruction in the increasingly important areas of sustainability and energy during their undergraduate coursework, while signaling broad topic proficiency to potential future employers.	ISEN Certificate
14	Materials Science Minor	The minor in materials science involves appropriate mathematics, chemistry, and physics prerequisites along with a course in thermodynamics.	Materials Science Minor
15	Segal Design Certificate	This certificate program, administered by the Segal Design Institute, develops a set of design and problem-solving skills that prove valuable in a wide range of careers. The program focuses on applying user-centered design to address real-world problems in team-based, interdisciplinary settings.	Segal Design Certificate
16	Transportation and Logistics Minor	This minor offers undergraduates the opportunity to obtain a more rounded education in transportation and logistics than that offered within their selected majors, equiping students with a broad understanding of the economics, engineering, and operations of transportation and logistics systems and the role of public policy.	Transportation and Logistics Minor
