Majors and Minors Majors are usually declared by the end of the sophomore year. You may select a second major from any department within your college or school of enrollment or any department in another college or school. The only exception is that students in the Leavey School of Business and Administration may not select a second major from that school. You may select an academic minor from most departments in the College of Arts and Sciences or from several interdisciplinary programs in the college. General minors are available in the schools of Business and Engineering.
Engineering also offers a computer engineering minor.
Check with the individual department for specific requirements. You may initiate a major or minor by obtaining approval on the appropriate declaration forms available in the Student Records Office, Walsh Administration Building. For majors in the School of Engineering, there is a 198 unit minimum. Units Taken at Other Institutions Students may earn up to 10 quarter units at other regionally accredited colleges or universities and transfer those units to Santa Clara. However, these units may not be counted as fulfilling a University or College of Arts and Sciences core requirement or a requirement of the student's major.
