Minor Fields of Study

Why Choose a Minor?

A business minor gives a student a competitive edge when applying for certain jobs, by providing concepts, tools and skills which enhance one's progress in a career. The business minor requires students to take 4 courses (12 credits) in a specific discipline. The minor is designed to give students from other majors a general competency in another area of study.

Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor for specific information.
