Undergraduate Minor - Management

The Management Minor is for students in majors outside of the Carlson School of Management to gain exposure to business while developing knowledge in a focus area of business that complements their major and career goals. View the catalog page for the minor.

Students are admitted on a rolling basis and are encouraged to apply for the minor as soon as they have completed microeconomics or business economics, and statistics. A minimum 2.5 GPA is recommended.

Questions about this can be directed to the Management minor advisor at mgmtmnr@umn.edu.
