The Business Management Minor equips students with the skills needed to seamlessly transition into a wide array of business roles, starting from entry-level positions across any industry. This minor is a valuable asset for students across all majors—whether you're studying anthropology, chemistry, or theatre. The business skills you’ll gain will enhance your career, no matter your field.
The Business Management Minor is designed to provide students with a strong academic foundation across all areas of business such as marketing, financial accounting, organizational behavior, strategy, information systems, global business and more. The program aims to prepare industry-ready graduates to identify, think critically, analyze and resolve business problems for working in the private and public sectors.
The five-course minor consists of three required courses (BUS 111 Principles of Marketing, BUS 112 Intro to Financial Accounting, and BUS 302 Organizational Behavior) and two BUS electives, which may be drawn from any upper-level (200-level or higher) BUS graded course listed below. BUS 109 Managerial Statistics is not required for the Business Management minor but is highly recommended. Please note that ECN 112 Principles of Microeconomics is a prerequisite for BUS 111 Principles of Marketing.
