Overview
Minor Area of Specialization in Finance (STEM)
Miami Herbert Business School students, as well as students in the other schools and colleges of the University of Miami, may pursue a minor in Finance by officially declaring the minor at their home school or college. Interested non-business students, before declaring the minor, should consult with an academic advisor in the School or College of their degree/major to determine if the minor in Finance is acceptable. If so, neither the advice nor the consent of either the Office of Undergraduate Business Education or the Finance Department is necessary.
