This program develops a foundational knowledge in the basic aspects of business, including accounting, finance, management information systems, management and marketing.
Mays Business School offers a business minor for undergraduate non-business majors. Students interested in pursuing a future MBA or the MS Business Master's degree may find that, when combined with appropriate statistics and economics coursework, a business minor provides the business foundation required by most graduate business programs.
To be awarded the minor and receive transcript recognition, students must complete the required coursework. Once declared, minor requirements become graduation requirements. The minor will be recognized on the transcript after graduation but not on the diploma.
Enrollment/Eligibility Criteria
Students must have an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher to pursue the minor.
Application Process
Declaration of minor is made in the student’s home college or major department advisor. Students are encouraged to start taking business minor courses as soon as the minor is declared. For more application, advising and program information, visit the
Business Minor website.
