Minors in
Business Administration
UCFV offers six minors in Business Administration. These include:
• General Business
• Accounting*
• Finance*
• Marketing
• Human Resources/Organization Studies
• Management Science/Information Systems, and
• International Business.
These are currently available to UCFV Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and
Bachelor of Kinesiology students. BCIS students may also complete a Business
minor.
* Note: The combined Accounting/Finance minor will no longer be available to
students after Fall, 2001.
Requirements and procedures
Students wishing to take a minor in business must have declared and be enrolled
in a major program of study (other than Business). Once enrolled in a major
program of study in a degree program which permits Business minors, students may
apply to the Business Administration programs for one of the business minors
offered (students seeking more than one minor must fulfill each minor’s program
requirements). Acceptance to a minor in business will require the development of
a program plan of study in consultation with the Business Administration program
chair or program assistant.
Note: The number of students accepted to business minors may be limited due to
seat availability.
The minors each require 30 credits, including ECON 100 and four lower-level
business courses and five upper-level courses (numbered 300 and above). Courses
taken in these minors can contain business-related courses from other
disciplines to a maximum of two non-Business (BUS) courses.
Note: Depending on the courses selected, some additional prerequisite courses
may be required.
Note: Students should consult the Business Administration department and course
prerequisite information in
the calendar, as additional courses outside of the
minor requirements are needed for many upper-level
electives, depending on the
minor and courses selected.
Time required for program completion
Completion of a business minor would be done concurrently with completion of the
bachelor’s degree in the chosen major field of study. Courses needed to fulfill
prerequisite requirements can be taken without additional time for degree
completion provided the student declares his/her major and minor early enough to
plan for the prerequisite requirements of upper-level courses.
Minor in General Business
Students seeking business courses for a general business minor can select from a
number of courses that have few or no prerequisites and would not require Math
12. In addition to ECON 100, these currently consist of five lower-level
courses: BUS 100, BUS 120, BUS 160, BUS 203*, and BUS 261, and six upper-level
courses: BUS 304*, BUS 400, BUS 407*, BUS 410, BUS 420, BUS 440. Collectively
these would be sufficient for a general minor in business.
Note: Students should consult the Business Administration department and course
prerequisite information in
the calendar, as additional courses outside of the
Minor requirements are needed for many upper-level
electives.
* Please refer to prerequisite requirements in the course descriptions section.
