Whether you're majoring in geology, psychology, journalism — and everything in between — KU's minor in business provides a valuable skill set for the professional world and will set you apart from your peers.
- The program is designed to allow students in non-business majors to supplement their education with a better understanding of business concepts.
- In order to declare a minor in business, students must have a major at KU other than business. All business minor courses must be taken for a grade; credit/no credit is not permitted.
