Description
The Business Minor can complement your major by providing foundational knowledge and skills in various aspects of business that are valuable in any fields, making you more versatile and appealing to employers. You will gain insights into marketing, organizational behavior, and financial decisions while learning to think and plan strategically. Even if you don’t work in a business-specific role, understanding business concepts can help you advance to leadership positions because understanding the business side of your primary field will enhance your ability to contribute to your organization.
The Business Minor is intended primarily for students pursuing majors outside the School of Business and Management. It is also an excellent option for students who started as Business Administration majors but later chose a different field outside the School of Business and Management.
