Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

The current minor in Business Administration requires 39 credit hours.  The minor requires significantly more credit hours than the 15-24 required for the typical minor.  To broaden the appeal and feasibility of the Business Administration minor for more students with majors outside the College of Business & Economics, this revision substantially reduces the number of credit hours for the minor.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)

 

Catalog Entry (Proposed)

 

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION MINOR

 

The minor in Business Administration provides students in degree programs in Economics and those outside the Lerner College of Business and Economics with an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the basic concepts of business administration.  Completion of the requirements for the minor provides a basic understanding of the language and major functional areas of business.  The minor is awarded only to students who have applied and been admitted to the program.  Admission will be based on the availability of seats and the GPA of the student; a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 will be required for consideration.  Applications are reviewed each September and February.  The credits required for the minor may also be used to meet other distribution requirements, such as degree breadth requirements and professional electives.  Students seeking a minor in Business Administration may only take one of the required Business or Finance courses at another institution.  Students in the HRIM degree program must see their advisor for required courses for the Business Administration minor.
