Students may elect to complement their Major with a Minor, defined as specialization in a discipline (field of study) outside their chosen Major .

The Division oversees the following Minors:

• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance
• Management
• Marketing

The Minors in Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing are designed for students already Majoring within the BBA degree. For example, a student can complete their BBA in Accounting with a Minor or Minors that provide specialization(s) in one or more of the following disciplines: Finance, Management, Marketing, or Economics. Students receiving a BA, BE, or BS degree may not Minor in these four areas.

The Minor in Economics is designed for students Majoring in any degree program (BA, BBA, BE, or BS). It is not designated for students taking the BBA in Economics.

General Requirements for a Minor

Students wishing to complete a Minor must complete a minimum 18 credit hours. 

No more than 9 credit hours in the student's Major or another Minor, may be counted toward a Minor. Internship credits may not be used to substitute for courses comprising the requisite minimum 18 credit hours in a Minor program.
