Business minor

This Business minor is currently available to students in the UFV Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Computer Information Systems, Bachelor of General Studies, and Bachelor of Kinesiology programs.

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 a Business minor, students may apply to the Business Administration program for a Business minor. Acceptance to the minor in business will require the development of a program plan of study in consultation with the Business Administration program chair or program advisor.

Entrance requirements

The entry requirement for the Business minor is a GPA of 2.67 in the student's current program of study.

Note: The number of students accepted to business minors may be limited due to seat availability.

Graduation requirements

• An accumulated GPA of 2.67 in the courses applying to the Business minor.
• A UFV residency requirement of at least 50% in the courses applying to the Business minor.

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.
