Option 3 is designed for students interested in learning about leadership in an interdisciplinary context.

Some of the courses have prerequisites. However, it is likely that those prerequisites can also be used to complete a student’s major cognates or general education requirements.

Students may not use courses credited to their major programs to fulfill elective requirements in the Business Administration minor.

Course programs and electives will be approved by the Business Minor Advisor.

Admission to the minor program will be determined by a competitive selection process.
