The University of Toledo

Minoring in Business

Undergraduate Minors for Non-College of Business Majors
Students majoring in fields other than business (e.g. Pharmacy, Engineering, Education, etc.) at The University of Toledo can minor in business while completing their undergraduate degree in another UT college. Students interested in pursuing the MBA degree are able to waive out of all of the foundation courses through completion of selected courses in the general minor. Our more specialized minors are great options for students that may or may not be interested in the MBA, but are seeking business knowledge to make them more marketable in the job and internship search.

Non-business students completing more than one minor may double count one course towards their business minor requirements.

The College currently offers the general minor and seven specialized minors for students majoring in fields other than business:

• General Minor for Non-Business Students
• Accounting
• Business Analysis
• E-Business and Information Technology Applications
• Entrepreneurship, Family, and Small Business
• International Business
• Professional Sales
• Operations/Supply Chain Management

Undergraduate Minors for College of Business Majors
Students majoring in business at UT can complement their BBA degree by completing a minor in a field other than their major field of study. College of Business majors can currently minor in every field offered as a major in the College of Business, in addition to several other fields.

The following requirements for the minors are taken from the University Catalog and are subject to change at any time by vote of the faculty, and as such the following text is provided for informational purposes only. Please check with Student Services for the most current requirements for the minors.

Students cannot duplicate credit in their minor, area of specialization and upper division core. The minor consists of three courses (9 hours), unless otherwise noted. Students must complete the 9 credit hours 3000/4000-level Business electives to fulfill their BBA degree requirements even if they are not completing a Business Minor.
