All minors at URI require 18 credits of coursework (see NRS minor requirements specified below), at least 12 of these 18 credits must be at the 200 level or higher, and all courses in the minor must be taken for a letter grade. Students must also earn at least a 2.0 quality point average in these courses. To complete a minor at URI, students must submit a completed \u201cMinor Field of Study\u201d form to the academic dean\u2019s office no later than the beginning of the final semester prior to graduation.
