Declaring a Minor
A minor is a curriculum component of an academic program intended to provide a limited depth and/or breadth study in a discipline or a professional field of study. Its main objective is to provide students a fair measure of expertise and knowledge in more than one academic area.
- Minors are open to all QU students provided that:
- They meet the admission requirements for the minor;
- The department offering the minor approves the student enrollment in the minor based on the department capacity.
- Students may not declare a minor before declaring their major.
- Students may declare one or multiple minors.
- Students may not declare a minor in the same field as the declared major.
- At least half of the credit hours required to complete the minor must be taken in residence at QU.
- A student must complete the graduation requirements for a Bachelor degree at Qatar University in order to receive recognition for the completed minor.
- The only recognition delivered by the university for a minor completed by a student consists on the appearance of the minor on the student official transcript at the time of graduation and the student graduation statement.
