Business Leadership Minor

The Business Leadership Minor develops professional and leadership skills needed to effectively lead and contribute to organizational success—advanced skills typically developed in post-graduate (e.g. MBA) students but that the Farmer School of Business develops in high achieving Miami undergraduate students. Courses in the Business Leadership minor include Business Ethics, Strategy & Decision Making, Leadership, and Change Management.  

This minor focuses on developing change management skills, enabling graduates to navigate organizational transitions and implement innovations successfully. In rapidly evolving industries, professionals who can lead teams through transformation have distinct advantages.

The program emphasizes business ethics, preparing students to make responsible decisions in complex situations. As organizations face increasing scrutiny regarding their practices, professionals with strong ethical foundations become invaluable team members and leaders.

Strategic thinking forms another cornerstone of this minor. Students learn to analyze business environments, identify opportunities, and develop actionable plans—skills critical for advancement into management roles. Many professionals eventually take on leadership positions requiring strategic vision, regardless of their primary field of study.

To enroll in the program, students must submit an application to the FSB Management Department. Please contact the Management Department and/or visit the Management Department website to learn more about admission criteria for the Business Leadership minor. The Business Leadership minor is available to both FSB students and non-FSB majors.
