Overview
Minor Area of Specialization in Marketing for Non-Business Students (People & Society)
Non-Business students in any school or college may pursue a minor in Marketing. Interested students should consult with an academic advisor in the School or College of their degree/major to determine if a minor in Marketing is acceptable. If so, neither advice nor consent from either the Office of Undergraduate Business Education or the Marketing Department is necessary for a student to choose or complete a Marketing minor. Instead the non-business student should simply declare the minor and complete the required 15 credit hours of Marketing courses.
