Program Description

A minor in information science is available to students in the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences; Architecture, Art, and Planning; Arts and Sciences; Engineering; Human Ecology; and the Schools of Hotel Administration, Industrial and Labor Relations, and Public Policy. Because of small differences in regulations between the colleges, the requirements may vary slightly, depending on a student’s college and, in a few cases, a student’s major. Students interested in pursuing the information science minor must initiate the process by sending an e-mail message with their name, college, year of study (e.g., second-semester sophomore), expected graduation date, (intended) major, and minor concentration selection to ISadvising@cornell.edu.

When all minor courses are finished, or during the final semester of study, students must complete the IS Minor Certification Form. Once the form has been processed, the IS Advising office will contact students to confirm certification.

Submission Deadline: If graduating in May or August, the form is due by 5/31. If graduating in December, the form is due by 12/31. Late submissions will not be accepted.
