Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Students who are majoring outside the School of Business Administration Business Programs may benefit from an opportunity to take a series of courses in business to enhance their academic programs. To provide this option, the School of Business Administration (SBA) has approved a series of structured minor programs that provide a sequence of courses that will enrich other disciplines, can be monitored by the administrative staff, and meet AACSB guidelines.

Students outside the School of Business Administration Business Programs may not take more than 24 credits in business (excluding EC 101 and EC 202 , which count toward the general education requirement).

Students working toward a minor in business must take at least 15 credits from the School of Business Administration Business Programs(residency requirement).

A minor in Sport and Event Management is intended to prepare students for careers in the Sport and Event Industry, from management positions in sport organizations or in traditional firms working with sport institutions, health/sports facilities, community recreation to marketing of sports and entertainment-related products and programs, sport services and the promotion, selling, designing, and execution of events all over the world.
