Engineering, Law, and Policy Graduate Minor
 

Engineering, Law, and Policy Graduate Minor

Available as part of the engineering, law, and policy (ELP) graduate program, the ELP graduate minor is offered through the School of Engineering Design and Innovation in the College of Engineering. Students with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics backgrounds interested in enhancing their educational, research, and engagement opportunities and understanding the convergence between technology, law, and policy for the successful development and implementation of technology-based strategies and solutions, are encouraged to apply.

With a variety of technical elective focus areas to choose from across the College of Engineering, the School of International Affairs, and Penn State Law, the ELP minor can help students excel at careers in consultancy, industry, government, startups, academics, non-profits, and more.
