To become an STSC Minor

  • Visit Path@Penn and use the "Declare/Update Field of Study" link to request the STSC minor.
  • Download and fill out the application: STSC Minor Declaration Application
  • Submit your application to the STSC Chair or Associate Director, who will add the minor to your transcript. Please remember that adding the minor to your worksheet does not place the minor onto your transcript.
