A minor is a course of study that introduces a field and provides modest depth into its subject matter. Students should take care to satisfy all prerequisites and carefully note other information in the catalog pertaining to sequences of courses, class standing, and regulations of other schools.
Note: Undergraduate students who are neither accounting nor business administration majors may not register for more than 29 credit hours of business coursework (i.e., ACCT-xxxxx, INTB-xxxxx, MGMT-xxxxx, FINA-xxxxx, MKTG-xxxxx, HRM-xxxxx, PROD-xxxxx, GBUS-xxxxx, BINT-xxxxx, BGRD-xxxxx).
The School of Business has designed its business administration degree program to provide substantial flexibility. Open and liberal arts electives allow students to pursue extra depth in a business concentration or extra breadth in other units of the College. Students are strongly encouraged to develop a plan of study with their academic advisers early in their college years to accomplish academic and career goals.
The following program offerings are not intended for students pursuing the B.S. in business administration or B.S. in accounting.
This minor provides an opportunity for non-business undergraduates considering Ithaca College's M.B.A. in professional accountancy to fulfill many of the prerequisites for that program while exploring their interest in the accounting profession. It also provides future business owners with the necessary background to manage the financial aspects of their business. This minor is not available to students pursuing a B.S. in business administration or accounting. In whatever combination of majors, minors, and certificates, undergraduate students who are neither accounting nor business administration majors may not register for more than 29 credit hours of business coursework (i.e., ACCT-xxxxx, INTB-xxxxx, MGMT-xxxxx, FINA-xxxxx, MKTG-xxxxx, HRM-xxxxx, PROD-xxxxx,GBUS-xxxxx, BINT-xxxxx, BGRD-xxxxx ), including elective credits.
