<p>"Beginning January 1, 2010, the Department of Applied Economics and Management will offer 2 management minors and 3 applied economics minors to students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences."</p>
<p>Does this mean that CAS students are not allowed to minor in AEM?</p>
<p>that is a little confusing.
I have been wondering about minors, not that I want to take one, but it’s not really clear. at this page I found through the admissions site, it says “Students may pursue minors in any department in any college that offers them.”

<p>but that bit of text you quotes seems contradictory. hmmm.</p>
<p>Yeah…AEM also offers a minor specifically for Engineering majors, which seems to support the idea that non-CALS majors are blocked out. </p>
<p>I’m considering minoring in something business-related, as I’m hoping to go into Human Resources…I’d prefer AEM, but I’m looking into PAM as well.</p>
<p>Correct.</p>
<p>The only students beyond CALS students who can minor in AEM are Engineering.</p>
<p>Thanks, chendrix, that’s what I thought. Disappointed, but oh well.</p>
<p>You aren’t limited in which AEM courses you can take though.</p>
<p>And a minor isn’t even noted on the diploma, just the transcript.
No one really cares if you took 5/6 courses and didn’t get the note on your transcript because you missed that 6th course.</p>
<p>Oh, I know. It’d just be nice to note it on my resume when applying to summer internships. In any case, I think I’m going to minor in PAM since it’s open to all Cornell students, but I’ll definitely take AEM courses.</p>
<p>now I am so curious why this should be the case! why exclude it only to CALS students. is this something new in conjunction with the elimination of some of the minors? </p>
<p>can CALS people minor outside of CALS?</p>
<p>AEM is extremely popular inside of CALS and I’m assuming it would rather not have its classes be packed by non-AEM students if at all possible, especially non-AEM non-CALS students.</p>
