Students completing the minor will be more competitive in today’s technology based workplace and better prepared to keep systems and data safe.

Declaring A Minor

Shenandoah students work with their Academic Advisor to declare a minor. Academic Advisors will continue to work with students to ensure that they fulfill all of the requirements to complete the minor.

Incoming students should not indicate their intended minor on their Shenandoah application. Applications are for intended majors only.

Students will complete an internship opportunity as a capstone experience. This will allow students to gain hands on experience in their desired field.

We are currently working with outside companies to create a strong internship program that will allow Shenandoah students to have hands on work experience prior to graduation. This will allow students to become more marketable. An internship experience is a required component to the program.

Career & Professional Development helps Shenandoah students search and apply for internships related to their major and career goals. Internships differentiate you as an applicant in your future job searches, provide hands on experience in your field, allow you to sample different career paths for your major, and help you find a specific position that fits your passion before graduation.
