Minor in Business
The Minor in Business is open to any KU undergraduate student. Whether student are majoring in geology, psychology, journalism — and everything in between — KU's minor in business provides a valuable skill set for the professional world and will set them apart from their peers.
The program is designed to allow students with majors outside of the School of Business to supplement their education with a better understanding of business concepts. Coursework consists of six courses -- four required and two elective -- for a total of 18 credit hours. All business minor courses must be taken for a grade; credit/no credit is not permitted.
Students are strongly encouraged to declare the minor as early as possible by completing a declaration of the minor form. In order to declare a minor in business, students must have a major at KU other than business. When a student has declared a minor in business, completed the six courses required with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better, and applied for a degree with the Office of the Registrar, the minor is granted.
