Accounting
Accounting is a data-driven discipline that enables companies to achieve their strategic goals by providing a common language for communicating financial performance to stakeholders (private equity investors, shareholders, etc.) and tracking costs. The Accounting Minor is designed with this idea in mind and focuses on developing these skills. The minor is recommended for students seeking careers in such fields as strategy consulting, finance, marketing, and supply chain management.
Advanced Financial Analysis
The Advanced Financial Analysis minor is an honors-level program that provides students with a deeper foundation in finance and accounting, supplemented by additional technical competence in financial modeling and coding as applied to finance problems. Courses will focus on developing technical skills and applying those skills to solve problems in realistic settings.
Business
The Business minor includes six pre-business courses and four higher-level business courses. Course subjects include: accounting, business thought, economics, finance, information systems, management, marketing, math, and statistics.
Business Analytics
The Business Analytics Minor supplements the undergraduate business student’s core major with analytics skills and knowledge relevant for today’s competitive and data-driven job market. The minor offers courses in statistics, programming, database, descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
Fintech
The Fintech minor introduces students to business models and technologies that drive financial innovation and adds digital capabilities to a student’s understanding of the financial services industry.

Management
The Management minor improves student preparation for a wide variety of careers in business and other organizations. While management skills are important to students graduating in all areas across the University, frequently students are given little or no formal coursework in management. Now there is a defined program of study that will prepare students to be sophisticated managers regardless of their major.
Professional Selling & Business Development
Sales is among the top four career paths chosen by graduates in engineering, humanities, and the physical and social sciences. Twenty percent of business majors also establish a career in sales. In just 18 credits, this minor provides students with the personal and technical skills to succeed in a sales career. Course subjects include personal selling, sales management, business-to-business marketing, and sales technology, analytics, and operations.
Real Estate
Understand and critically analyze real estate financial underwriting, investment analysis and assessment, due diligence, economic analysis, and capital markets, all through the lens of ethical conduct and professional integrity.
