STUDENT FEATURE

Stephanie Glass '12

What drew you to Cornell?

“I liked the fact that I could major in Applied Economics and Management while also taking classes in many of the other subjects that I am interested in, such as history and government.”

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

AEM Minors

The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management offers 1 management minor and 3 applied economics minors only to students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Each minor consists of at least 17 credit hours. Unless prior permission is obtained, there can be no substitutions for the courses required for each minor.

In addition to the 4 minors below, the Dyson School also offers a minor in business for engineering majors and a minor in business for life sciences majors, and the Dyson School is the administrative home to the new University-wide Business Minor.

University-wide Business Minor

NOTE: Current CALS students who completed the Dyson School's Declaration to Minor form before January 1, 2010, for a minor in finance, food industry management, or marketing may continue to minor in those subject areas.

NOTE: CALS students who will graduate in May or August 2013 and have completed the Dyson School's Declaration to Minor form for a minor in business will continue in that minor. All other students currently in the AEM business minor will be automatically transitioned to the new University-wide Business Minor.

Admission Requirements for the Management or Applied Economics Minors

1. Students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences must complete the Declaration to Minor form to be given preference for admission to Dyson School courses that are oversubscribed. Forms are also available in 425 Warren Hall.

2. Submit the form any time after you have completed at least one of the courses required for the minor. Keep a copy of the form for reference. Note that to receive any consideration or priority in Dyson School course enrollment, a form must have been submitted prior to the semester in which enrollment is desired. Formally declaring an intent to minor in AEM does not guarantee that a student will be able to take a given Dyson School course in a given semester.

3. Plan a course of study to complete minor requirements. Keeping track of courses required and completed toward the minor is the student’s responsibility; students will not be assigned a Dyson School advisor. Except as indicated, only Dyson School courses may be used to satisfy the requirements of the minor. (An exception may be made for transfer students from another university.)

4. Students must earn a grade of C- or better in each course required by all of the minors except Environmental and Resource Economics, which requires a grade of B- or better in each of the required courses. Courses may also be taken S/U (note that an "S" is awarded for grades of C- or better).

5. When submitting an application to graduate to the CALS Registrar during the senior year, to verify the completion of a Minor Program of Study, a copy of the transcript (it need not be an official copy) should be brought to 425 Warren Hall for verification that all required courses have been satisfactorily completed or are in the process of being completed. Upon review of a satisfactory transcript, the Dyson School's undergraduate minor coordinator or the advising coordinator will verify on the application to graduate form that the requirements for the Minor Program of Study in Applied Economics and Management have been completed.

6. Questions should be addressed to the Dyson School's undergraduate minor coordinator (425 Warren Hall); or Deborah Streeter, AEM Professor.

CALS students who completed the AEM Declaration to Minor form before January 1, 2010, for a minor in finance, food industry management, or marketing may continue to minor in those subject areas.
