UNDERGRADUATE MINORS POLICY
Undergraduate Minors Policy
Students enrolled in Bachelor Degree Programs at
Robert Morris University may pursue a minor providing the student is in good
standing possessing a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. Minors
can improve the educational program for students, their broader intellectual
development, and assist them in pursuing career goals. In addition to the
benefits of meeting the rigors of a major field of study, students can benefit
greatly from being able to pursue one or more minors. Students at Robert Morris
University have the opportunity to select from a variety of minors associated
with various academic departments.
The following are guidelines that
are followed by all academic minors at RMU:
- A minor shall
consist of no fewer than 15 or more than 21 credits.
- Up
to six credits of RMU Core may count toward the number of credits required for
the minor.
- Each minor should
include a minimum of 9-12 credits of required courses and no more than 9
credits of electives.
- Prerequisite rules
apply to minors.
Undergraduate Minors Procedures
- Students
interested in a specific area as a minor should review the programs within
the academic department of interest and consult with their academic
advisors as to whether the minor would strengthen their majors in a
complementary field of study.
- Students
interested in pursuing a minor should complete the online form through Sentry.
- Students electing
a minor must pass all required courses for the minor with a grade of
"C" or higher, complete at least 9 credits for the minor at
Robert Morris University, and take all required courses on a graded basis.
