Business Minor 

Many Temple University undergraduates are currently taking selected business courses to better prepare themselves for their careers after graduation. The Fox School of Business and Management offers an eight course (24 s.h.) business minor to allow students in other schools and colleges of the University a chance to better prepare themselves for work in a profit or non-profit organization. This minor will also facilitate the transition into an MBA program for undergraduate non-business majors. After the student completes the requirements, the minor will be recorded on the student's official University transcript upon graduation.

Academic Requirements for Business Minor

Students pursuing a business minor must meet the following requirements:
· A C- in each course

Please contact the FSBM Advising Office for more information on the minors or check the website at http://www.sbm.temple.edu/advising/. Students in other schools and colleges may be allowed to take minors in the Fox School of Business and Management, if they have completed the business minor. The Healthcare Management minor does not require the business minor as a prerequisite. Students in the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management are approved to take the Management Information Systems minor without the Business minor. All other students should contact the MIS Department directly at 215-204-3054 to determine if the business minor is required.
