Minor in Business
Overview
Whether you're majoring in geology, psychology, journalism — and everything in between — KU's minor in business provides a valuable skill set for the professional world and will set you apart from your peers.
The program is designed to allow students with majors outside of the School of Business to supplement their education with a better understanding of business concepts.
In order to declare a minor in business, students must have a major at KU other than business. All business minor courses must be taken for a grade; credit/no credit is not permitted.
