Business Administration Minor

The minor in business administration provides a general overview of business for non-business majors. While it is open to qualified students from all majors (except majors in the College of Business Administration and International Business), it is particularly recommended for students whose career plans include self-employment or small business management. The minor in business administration is administered by the Business Undergraduate Program Office (BA 448), (619) 594-5828.

The minor in business administration consists of 21 to 23 units to include Accountancy 201; Finance 323; Information and Decision Systems 180; Management 350; Marketing 370; and six to eight units selected from Finance 317, 327; Management 352, 450; Marketing 371, 373.

Courses in the minor may not be counted toward the major, but may be used to satisfy preparation for the major and general education requirements, if applicable. A minimum of six upper division units must be completed in residence at San Diego State University. Students with a major in the College of Business Administration or in International Business may not complete a minor in the College of Business Administration.

Students must officially declare the minor before taking any upper division business courses. Students must meet the prerequisites for the minor in effect at the time that they declare the minor. The current prerequisites for admission to the business administration minor include completion of the following courses with a grade of C or better in each: Economics 101, 102 and a three unit course in statistics (Statistics 119 is recommended); completion of the General Education requirements in Communication and Critical Thinking; completion of an additional nine units in the department of the student's major, including at least three units of upper division courses. Students must also meet the GPA requirement in effect at the time that they declare the minor. Contact the Business Undergraduate Program Office (BA 448) for admissions criteria and procedures.
