Business Minors
Most business majors do not have minors, and business majors cannot have a business minor. As a business major, if you choose to earn a minor, it would have to be a non-business minor. The business curriculum takes up most of the 120 units required for graduation. Although business majors cannot have a business minor, a student may double major if they so choose.
Declaring a minor would mean that you will take more than 120 credits to complete both a business major and a minor. Therefore, if you choose a minor, it needs to be for very good reasons: It would make you uniquely qualified for a specific career; it is an area you hope to work in the future; or you are deeply interested in the subject matter.
Ten business minors are available to non-business majors. Get a complete list of these minors. Course requirements for these minors can be found in the University Catalog.
Graduate Programs
The graduate business program at UW-Whitewater serves both daytime and evening students, and welcomes both full-time and part-time students in either program. There are approximately 400 students in the graduate business program on a full-time and part-time basis. Students bring diverse backgrounds to the classes in age, work experience, undergraduate majors and cultural backgrounds. In addition, full-time faculty with a wealth of practical and academic experience teach all classes.
