Business Minor


This minor can be declared through the Department of Economics and Business .

The Department of Economics and Business offers a minor in business. The business minor is intended for those cadets in other curricula who wish to supplement their major with a general business orientation.

The discipline of business is concerned with decision making based upon consideration of costs and benefits. Such decision making is central to the conduct of both private enterprises and the public sector of our society. Cadets are required to complete EC 201 , EC 202 , BU 210 BU 220 , BU 230 , and BU 310 .

To pursue a minor in business, cadets must obtain the permission of the Head of the Department of Economics and Business and the head of the department of their major field. The necessary application form can be obtained from the Head of the Department of Economics and Business. Cadets must maintain an overall 2.0 in the minor and complete all required course work with a grade of “C” or higher. All required courses must be taken at VMI. In addition, no more than one elective course can be taken at another school.
