Major Courses

Undergraduate business administration students must select one of the following majors: accounting, business administration, business economics, finance, human resources, information systems, marketing, operations and supply chain management, or real estate. Students may pursue more than one business major, with the exception that those choosing the business administration major cannot double major within business.

The majors in applied investment management, applied artificial intelligence in business, business analytics, and international business may also be declared, but if selected, must accompany one of the following majors: accounting, business economics, finance, human resources, information systems, marketing, operations and supply chain management or real estate. 

When students elect a second business major, the required courses for that additional major replace—and may exceed—the upper division business elective requirements of their primary major. Likewise, the primary major’s upper division electives count toward the secondary major’s requirements. This approach allows coursework to be shared between majors, making it possible to complete two business majors with a minimum of 30 credits of upper division courses.

Students can apply course credits toward multiple business major requirements and electives when applicable. However, using a single course to fulfill more than one requirement does not reduce the minimum number of credits needed to graduate. As a result, students may need to enroll in additional elective courses to ensure they meet both credit and course requirements for their degree.

Within the Business Core Curriculum, students may, when applicable, count a single course toward multiple course requirements. This includes the Analytics Structured Elective, the Business Ethics Structured Elective, and/or the Core Enhancement Structured Elective, while also fulfilling a requirement or elective within a declared business major. Example: INSY 4052 Database Management Systems can satisfy both the Analytics Structured Elective and the required course within the Information Systems major. This approach enables students to optimize their course selections and streamline their academic progress across the business curriculum.

At least one course with International Business content within or outside a student’s declared major(s) in the College of Business Administration is required.

Declaration of Major

Each business student is encouraged to declare a business major prior to registration for the junior year. All students should declare all major(s) and non-business minor(s) prior to advising and registration for the senior year. 

Undergraduate business students can complete a maximum of three business majors.

BUSINESS MINORS

With the exception of the Entrepreneurship Minor, business minors are designed for non-business students to pursue their interests in the College of Business Administration. Any undergraduate student, including business students can declare an Entrepreneurship minor. The requirements for the Entrepreneurship minor for business students can share across Business Core; Major Requirements and Electives, and Upper Division Business Electives when possible.
