Students majoring in business may pursue a Finance minor. The goal of the minor is to provide a secondary area of expertise for students majoring in Accounting, Business Information Systems, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Management, Marketing, or Supply and Value Chain Management. By combining one of these majors with a minor in finance, the student is prepared for a greater number of career opportunities and gains more flexibility. In addition, students majoring in other area of business sometimes take electives in finance.
