Outside Minor in Business for Non-Business Majors

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 courses and not less than a C in each course. These courses cannot be taken by correspondence study.

Students preferring more focused study in a single business area—such as accounting, finance, health care management, human resources, leadership, marketing, management information systems, small business or other specialized study—may wish to select one of several available more specialized business minors. Students not planning to complete a business minor, but who wish to supplement their major with a small number of business courses, should select business and economics courses in consultation with an advisor from the Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics
