The business administration minor complements the skills the student gains in his or her major discipline by providing a study of principles and techniques used in organizing, planning, managing, and leading within various organizations.

The student who graduates with a Minor in Business Administration will be able to

• Use critical-thinking skills in conducting research in business and management.



• Apply analytical and problem-solving methods in resolving business management problems and issues.



• Identify and apply key concepts and theories in business and management.



• Employ effective written and oral communication skills consistent with the business and professional environment.

A minor in business administration requires the completion of 15 credits of coursework in Business Administration. Any ACCT, BMGT, ENMT, FINC, HRMN, MGST, and MRKT courses apply. Students are recommended to take BMGT 364 as the first course in the minor (if they have not already applied the course to other requirements).

Courses may not duplicate those used to satisfy requirements for the major. At least 9 credits must be earned in upper-level courses (numbered 300 or above). Prerequisites apply for all courses.
