Requirements for the Business Analytics Minor include:

  • Undergraduate students must declare Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence as a minor field of study the semester in which the student expects to complete 75 credit hours. Requirements are satisfied by completion of the 18 credits of related studies offered by the College of Business.
  • A minimum average of 2.0 must be earned in the 18 credits required for the minor.
  • At least 3 courses for the minor must be earned at the University of Rhode Island.
  • No course may apply to both the major and minor fields of study. Courses in general education may be used for the minor. Courses in the minor may not be taken under the Pass/Fail option.
  • Because business students must be accommodated first, approval of a minor does not guarantee space in BAI111 or BAI210 during the fall or spring semester for non-business majors. Taking one of these courses during the summer or taking a suitable substitute (MTH131 or MTH 141 in place of BAI 111 and STA 308 in place of BAI 210) is strongly recommended as they are required for most of the courses in the minor.
