Courses designed for students pursuing this minor can be found in the Business Administration (BADM) course description section of the Catalog. Other courses offered to business majors may be available to students pursuing a Business Fundamentals minor, but students will typically require departmental permission to register for those classes. Students should also note that they must meet all prerequisites for those classes. Access to courses for this minor is on a space available basis, and the School of Business cannot guarantee completion of this minor. Refer to the School of Business section of this catalog for restrictions on Business minors and limits on the number of Business courses available to non-Business students.
