The Business minor is available to students in degree programs other than the Bachelor of Business Administration. Students should check with their department and/or the calendar to determine whether the minor is applicable to their degree.
Requirements and procedures
Once enrolled in a major program of study in a degree program which permits a Business minor, students can contact the School of Business to declare a Business
minor and to discuss developing a program plan of study with a School of Business program advisor.
Entrance requirements
Completion of a minimum of 30 credits including BUS 100 and 6 additional credits of Business or Economics.
Minimum CGPA of 2.00.
C+ or better in one of Principles of Mathematics 12 of Pre-calculus 12 (see Note).
Note:
Mathematics requirement can also be satisfied by a C+ or better in one of MATH 096 or MATH 110, a C+ or better in both MATH 094 and 095, a C or better in one of MATH 092 or MATH 140, or a score of 17/25 or better on Part B of the MSAT together with a score of 34/50 or better on Parts A and B combined.
Program duration
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 a student declares the minor early enough to plan for the prerequisite requirements of upper-level courses.
