Looking to add a versatile specialization to your bachelor's degree? The 18-credit Minor in Business Administration at CapU is for you.

In this minor, you'll develop an understanding of key business concepts and grow the skills to thrive in any organization.

As a Business minor student, you'll start by choosing one of three introduction to accounting courses at the 100-or 200-level.

After completing the accounting course, you'll add five courses at the 300-level or higher, which include options in marketing, human resources and law, with electives available in project management, international business and entrepreneurship.

The Business Administration minor is ideal for anyone seeking to enhance their job-readiness after completing their degree. Learn more by visiting the requirements tab or contacting the CapU School of Business.
