This will potentially speed graduation for business students who desire a business minor and will promote more business students taking minors within the college. The language change proposed below would affect the current wording of most minors in the catalog in the areas of: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Real Estate, Management Information Systems, Operations Management, Marketing, Hospitality, Entrepreneurship. Change from: Courses used for the xxx minor may not count toward other business major or College core requirements. Change to: A maximum of 3 credits used for the XXX minor may count toward other business major requirements. A minimum of 2 courses (6 credits) must be exclusive to the minor. Rationale: Minors in the COB require at least one 3 credit college core course and then an additional 9 credits. This change would potentially allow students in a major that has courses related to a minor area to take only 6 additional credits (2 additional courses) in order to fulfill requirements for a minor. This does not undercut the requirement for 12 credits toward the minor but rather allows students a creative alternative to have credits already earned toward a major to apply to a minor. This aligns with the UUPC guidelines that Minors for specific student groups may have lower requirements if the student is presumed to have already completed work related to the minor. The total body of work for these minors should meet the minimum standards. Currently, students can apply credits earned toward a minor to their majors through petitioning to the Department chair and the petitions get usually approved. The change in the language will benefit both departments and students. The departments will be encouraged in creating cross-disciplinary minors and work in collaboration with other departments. Students will have the access and the opportunity to pursue multidisciplinary studies and expand their skills beyond their majors, in alignment with the industry needs.
