Undergraduate Minor - Management
The Management Minor is for students in majors outside of the Carlson School of Management to gain a comprehensive exposure to the business world while developing knowledge in a focus area that complements their major and career goals. Through this minor, a student has the opportunity to build versatile business foundations by taking courses in Microeconomics, Statistics, Accounting, and Excel. These foundational courses prepare the students to be successful in any focus area they choose. 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 [email protected].
