Secondary Major in Business Administration
for non-business majors

The Secondary Major in Business Administration is intended for those students who are pursuing a primary degree that is outside of the Business School and wishes to earn a secondary degree in business. A secondary degree in Business provides a broad foundational background within the various business disciplines and is a most powerful and useful complement to any non-business discipline. This degree provides the necessary understanding of business theory and principles as well as providing the practical tools needed to function successfully in a chosen field. While not providing an in-depth course of study within any of the business discipline areas, the secondary business degree does provide a solid grounding to be prepared for entering the business world. The Secondary Business Major is not a stand-alone degree and is only available to non-business majors as a secondary degree option

The Secondary Degree in Business Administration prepares the student in numerous business competencies: ethics, law, accounting, economics, statistics, management, marketing, and finance. These areas are all reflected in the required courses that are listed below. If the student wishes to build upon this foundation, and pursue a primary degree in business, then 18 additional semester hours of upper level business course are required. Students interested in this advanced course of study should explore their options with their academic advisor.
