Admissions
All Graduate School students must utilize the Graduate Student Portal in MyUW to add, change, or discontinue any doctoral minor. To apply to this minor, log in to MyUW, click on Graduate Student Portal, and then click on Add/Change Programs. Select the information for the doctoral minor for which you are applying.
Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD program are not eligible for this minor.
Course Plan
To declare the minor, students must complete the PhD Minor Course Requirements Approval Form. Contact the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Graduate Program Coordinator to request the form or locate via the ECE Graduate Student Intranet. Once approved, declare the minor via the Graduate Student Portal.
Once the PhD Minor Course Requirements Approval Form is approved by the ECE PhD Committee, the minor request will be approved. Note the Graduate Student Portal process is a declaration and acceptance does not mean a completed minor until all requirements are met.
