Business Minor
The minor in Business, which is open to non-business majors only, offers students a broad introduction to the decision making process across the functional areas of business and also extends the stakeholder framework with an emphasis on the integrated nature of business processes. The minor provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary for understanding how businesses function; it also helps to develop a set of professional skills that will benefit students across a wide range of career paths (both within and outside of business).
Note: Due to the potential significant overlap in coursework, students who pursue the Business Minor will be restricted from also pursuing the Management minor.
