Business Minors Fall 2012
Beginning Fall 2012 students will be allowed to choose their own business minor
Every student must select one business minor
A student still has the option to add as many non-business minors as they wish
Policy is retroactive for all active catalogs: 2007-2009 2009-2011 2011-2012
MINOR ADVISING: POINTS TO REMEMBER
Business majors must have one business minor (they cannot have two)
Courses calculated into the student’s major cannot be included in the minor (those marked MAJ on the Upper Division form) Business CORE and any Major Auxiliary courses may be used in the minor
Students must complete all business CORE requirements, regardless of the minor selection
Check residency requirements for each minor
The major and minor must be from the same catalog year
Students may not major and minor in the same subject area i.e. ACTG majors cannot have the ACTG/INFS minor
Remind students that choosing a different business minor may add courses beyond the 120 hours required for the degree
Students receiving any kind of financial aid or Lottery Scholarship should speak with a Financial Aid Representative before changing and/or taking courses in the new minor
When your advisee is ready to file his/her Upper Division form and wants a business minor other than the incorporated minor, the minor portion must also be signed
Minors cont.
The incorporated minors of Business Administration and Economics and Finance will remain attached to the program of study
These will only be ‘detached’ from the program with the completed ‘elective minor’ section on the back of the upper-division form and a signature
Those minors other that the incorporated will likely require more than 120 hours
How does the student change the minor?
Business Administration Minor
Economics/Finance Minor
Minors cont.
The most important rule regarding these optional minors is this one:
You may not use the same course in a major and a minor
If the course is being calculated in the major (MAJ) then you MAY NOT use it in the minor
You may crossover CORE courses
If the course is being calculated in the major (MAJ) then you MAY NOT use it in the minor
Student wants Economics Minor-
ECON 2410 ECON 2420 ECON Upper-Division ECON Upper-Division ECON Upper-Division Can they use ECON
3210 for this minor?
Finance Major Economics Minor
