The Business Minor Program is designed for students earning majors in colleges other than the College of Business. The Business Minor provides course work through which Non-Business students can obtain skills and learn tools used in business. Business students will learn the theories, techniques and concepts of accounting, marketing, management and finance. The Business Minor provides a background that will be useful for Non-Business students who wish to pursue a business career. The Business Minor is not available to Business Majors or Technology and Management Minor students. The Business Minor is not to be considered as preparation for transfer into the College of Business to earn a business degree.
