Management Minor
The management minor is available to students enrolled in any college outside of the Carlson School on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota. In addition to giving you broad exposure to the basic elements of business and management, the minor is an excellent preparation for law school, an MBA program, or your career.
Students are admitted on a rolling basis and are encouraged to apply for the minor as soon as they have completed Microeconomics, Business Statistics, and College Algebra. For more information, please see the Eligibility tab.
