Taxation Minor (for Non-SBA Majors only)

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).

Taxation is a dynamic field with numerous opportunities for students who are not business majors. This minor provides students with in-depth knowledge and research skills in the specialty area of taxation. Students interested in working for a government agency such as the IRS and/or planning on attending law school are encouraged to obtain advanced coursework in tax law.
