In order to change your major, please make an appointment with the faculty advisor who represents the major you want. This advisor is an expert in his or her field and will have the most complete and accurate information to assist you through the transition. Realistically, however, it is very difficult to change into some majors. Although most of the fields of study at the University are open to any student making satisfactory progress toward a degree, some have special requirements. At this time, it is particularly difficult to move into a major in Pharmacy, as well as some programs in the College of Environment and Life Sciences.
Education is also competitive.
Transfer to a degree-granting college. All students at URI must remain in University College until they have completed 24 credits and have earned a minimum of a 2.0 or C average. A student who has 75 credits may not remain in University College. If you are certain about your choice of major, and you have met all the requirements, you should initiate the transfer process by meeting with your academic advisor in University College.
