Students may choose one of three options. Option 1 is designed for those students who are interested in career application upon graduation. Option 2 is designed for those students who are interested in enrolling in a graduate program in Business at a later date. Option 3 is designed for students interested in learning about leadership in an interdisciplinary context.

Note: A grade below C- must be repeated in all courses credited to the major; each of these courses which is a prerequisite for another course in the program must have a C- or better grade attained before taking the course for which it is a prerequisite.

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.
