The minor in Business Management is available to bachelor students in other disciplines and is focused on providing a strong foundation in business, accounting, and management.

Total Credits Required for Minor 18

Minors are designed to provide baccalaureate students with knowledge and skills in a field other than their majors, that may lead to a post-graduation competitive advantage. Bachelor’s students who have earned a minimum of 45 credits and have an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible. The Request for Minor Form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. To be able to complete your minor within 120 credits (minimum credits required for a major), students are strongly recommended to meet with an Academic Advisor for course planning prior to declaring a minor.

The minimum number of credits for a minor is 18. A maximum of two courses required for the major (including the general education) can be used toward a minor, and open electives may be used to satisfy the remaining of the minor requirements.

Successful completion of a minor requires a grade of C or higher in all courses of that minor. A minor must be completed at the time of the bachelor’s degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript. A student cannot be readmitted to complete only a minor.
