Minors

Policy on Academic Minors:

All listings will be in effect Fall 2024

A minor consists of a minimum of 15 credits of coursework within a single area of study or across several disciplines. At least six credits of courses that make up the minor must be upper-level courses. Any undergraduate student in good academic standing who also has at least sophomore standing may declare a minor. Students majoring in a program may not earn a minor made up exclusively of courses from that program. In addition, at least nine credits used to satisfy the minor requirements should be counted only toward the minor; in other words, these nine credits should not overlap with requirements for the major or another minor. Also, at least nine credits used to satisfy the minor requirements must be completed at NJIT or Rutgers-Newark if the minor is offered by an academic department federated with Rutgers-Newark. A student can be awarded a minor only when a bachelor’s degree is awarded. This policy applies to minors created or updated beginning academic year 2022-2023.

All prerequisites for required courses should be taken in advance of registration.

Course substitutions are permitted only at the discretion of the Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs.
