The Accounting minor is open to CCB and Economics majors. All other majors are eligible for the Business Administration minor or the International Business minor.
The objective of the Accounting minor is to enable business students to achieve basic understanding of generally accepted accounting practices and their application to the effective managerial oversight of a business enterprise. A choice of electives allows students to also develop a deeper understanding of a selected area of accounting practice.
Business students are eligible to declare the minor if they have an overall GPA of 2.5 and completed 54 credits. The Request for a Minor form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. Students meet the requirements of the minor by completing all of the 8 courses listed below with a GPA of at least 2.5 in them.
A minor must be completed at the time of the degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript. A student cannot be readmitted to the University to complete only a minor.
