Business

Program Highlights

Enhance your career potential by adding a business minor to your academic plan. Students gain practical skills in management, marketing, and finance that complement any major and will prepare you to lead in any field. The minor provides flexibility in undergraduate studies and better prepares students for their careers and and for graduate school. For most students, the requirements for the business minor are far more valuable than a similar number of courses in one or two areas.

How to Declare a Minor and Certificates

If you change your major after submitting your application, you will need to apply again because the minor can only be added to your current academic program plan. If you are unsure whether an application has already been submitted, log in to mydegree to confirm. If the business minor is reflected in your current academic program plan, please do not submit another application. If the business minor is not reflected in your current academic program plan, please proceed with completing the online application.

All business minor applications must be submitted prior to the awarding of your degree. After all minor requirements are completed and verified, the minor will be awarded alongside your undergraduate degree and will be reflected in your official academic record for the semester in which you graduate. The business minor is intended to complement your major; the minor is recognized only when that degree is completed.

Business Minor Requirements

• At least 15 of the 18 total hours must be taken in residence at the University of Missouri.
• To earn the business minor, students must have at least a 2.00 business minor GPA in the required courses. If a student has taken more than 18 business hours, all business courses taken — Accountancy (ACCTCY), Business Administration (BUS_AD), Economics (ECONOM), Finance (FINANC), Management (MANGMT) and Marketing (MRKTNG) — will be included when calculating the business minor GPA.
