Minor in Information Systems
Specialized Business Minors
These programs are designed to provide undergraduates with a focused exposure to a particular area of business practice rather than the broad exposure of the General Business Minor. As such, they can provide professional and technical skills needed for entry into specialized business employment for non-business majors or serve as an alternative to a double major for business majors wishing expertise in a second field.
All coursework used to satisfy the requirements of the minor must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Students have basic competencies in information systems and its interactions with other business-related disciplines.
- Students will demonstrate familiarity with generalist and specialist discipline‐based knowledge in information systems.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate the knowledge of information systems with financial accounting and management related functional areas into effective business solutions.
