A College of Arts & Sciences student seeking a business minor should consult the Business School website for details and then speak with an advisor in the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center. There are two types of business minors offered to CAS students: a General Business Minor and functional business minors. The Undergraduate Academic Advising Center can help students to explore the options. Students may then be advised to meet with a specific faculty advisor specializing in their area of interest. CAS students interested in pursuing an MBA or MPA degree should also consult with the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center for custom advising on the selection of minor business courses that may later be applied to the graduate program if certain conditions are met. General Business Minor Requirements for CAS students (5 courses, 15 credits) The General Business Minor appeals to students who choose to develop a basic understanding and appreciation of business administration.
