Minor in Business

The minor in business (BUS) provides an introduction to the business skills needed for success in the rapidly changing and evolving world of business. Because it is designed for non-business students who wish to learn business essentials to enhance their own area of expertise, the minor provides broad exposure to business concepts and theories. The minor presents and integrates the major functional areas in business to solve management problems through the use of information technology. Strong written and oral communication skills are expected of students. Prior to beginning the minor in business, students must have completed 38 credit hours. The School of Management also recommends taking ECON 103 to fulfill the Social and Behavioral Science General Education Requirement and MATH 108 for the Quantitative Reasoning General Education Requirement. The minor in business consists of the following six courses. Students must complete five of the six courses for a total of 15 credit hours. Students must achieve a grade of 2.0 or better in each course that is applied toward the minor.
