MINOR/DOUBLE MAJOR FORMS | UNDERGRAD BUSINESS MAJORS

Add Value to Your Current Major with a Minor or Additional Major

Adding a business minor to your current major is a great way to give yourself a competitive edge in your career and open the door to additional opportunities.

For example, if you are majoring in dance, a business minor will strengthen your degree and provide you with business skills to help you manage your dancing career or open your own studio. A business minor shows your potential employer that you have a foundation in business — a valuable asset in nearly any field.

The double major does the same thing, only in hyper drive! In journalism or communications, a double major is a smart choice because much of what powers the media is grounded in their business operations.

Double majors are popular not just because they add value professionally, but also because they cost less than two separate degrees. In most cases, the core courses count toward both degrees, making a double major much more efficient. In addition, a double major is advantageous for adding a full skill set in your specific career field choice.

Discuss your options with your advisor. Once you've decided on a minor or double major, there are some simple forms to fill out to register your choice.
