Minor in Business
A business minor gives you the freedom to pursue a wider set of career paths. Strong business knowledge is a valued career asset, regardless of your chosen profession. Every firm, agency or nonprofit organization is in the business of delivering successful results. If you’re pursuing a non-business major, enhance your career success with a valuable understanding of fundamental business issues.
Choose from three business minors—business, entrepreneurship or marketing. You'll gain a critical understanding of business concepts and decision-making frameworks, plus practical skills in accounting, finance, information systems, management and marketing.
