Outside Minor in Business for Non-Business Majors

About the Outside Minor

Students pursuing a four-year degree in non-business programs may combine formal study in business with their stated major by concurrently completing an outside minor in business. Students who select this program must notify their advisor and the Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics advisor before the end of their junior year.

Students must attain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C) in all the above courses and not less than a C in each course. These courses cannot be taken by correspondence study.

Students who do not plan to complete the minor in business but who wish to supplement their major with a small number of business courses in a single business area—such as accounting, finance, marketing, or other specialized study—should select business and economics courses in consultation with an advisor from the Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics.
