Minors
Students from all academic units are eligible to pursue College of Business minors.
BBA students are not required to complete a minor, however, pursuing one can enhance their degree. Minors can provide additional skills and knowledge useful to a student's career. In addition to the College of Business options, there are also a large number of non-business minors that BBA students may pursue.
