Business Administration Minor

The minor in Business Administration provides a comprehensive foundation in fundamental business concepts essential for diverse academic disciplines. Through courses focusing on areas such as management, marketing, finance, and analytics, students will gain valuable insights into the principles driving successful businesses and organizations. Emphasizing practical applications and critical thinking, the minor equips students with essential skills in decision-making, problem-solving, and strategic planning, enhancing their ability to thrive in various professional environments, regardless of their primary field of study. Additionally, integrating these interdisciplinary perspectives fosters a holistic understanding of the business landscape, empowering students to contribute effectively in their chosen careers while complementing their primary academic pursuits.

This minor is built upon the same foundational principles that underpin the core requirements for all majors within the Department of Business & Economics. As such, it is exclusively tailored for students whose majors lie outside of this department and cannot be taken by students pursuing majors in Accounting, Economics (B.S.), Finance, Global Business & Economics, Healthcare Administration or Marketing.
