Minors
Minors
Minors, while not required at the college, can enhance and broaden a student’s educational experience and add value for employment or graduate school. Minors require a minimum of 18 credits and most range from 18-24 credits. Minors are open to students in any major, not just a minor in the school of the student’s major. Most majors have a corresponding minor. At least two courses in the minor must be completed at the college. Students must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of a 2.00 in their minor.
Minors are also available in the following areas: archaeology, behavioral neuroscience, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, coaching, cybersecurity, data analytics, digital media production, educational studies, gerontology, international business, international governmental non-governmental studies, italian, jazz studies, linguistic anthropology, medical anthropology, public history, queer studies, rhetoric and writing, statistical modeling and web development.
Transfer Minors
The college has created transfer minors designed primarily for, but not limited to, community college transfer students who have completed designated associate degree programs. All coursework for the minor will have been completed at the student’s prior institution before matriculating as a new student or a readmit at the college. Transfer minors consist of 18-24 credits in a focused field of study for which a minor does not exist at RIC. The transfer minor will be posted on the student’s official RIC transcript as an additional academic credential.
