Option/Minor with BBA program
Students may choose to select their elective courses to meet the requirements for a minor/option (to a maximum of two) in a subject other than honours Business. Additional courses may be necessary to fulfill these requirements as well as those of the BBA program.
An honours BBA student may receive designation for no more than two minors/options, in addition to one BBA Concentration.
- Requirements for specific minors/options are included in the Departments section of the:
Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Faculty of Music, Faculty of Science, School of Business and Economics - Economics Department and Martin Luther University College - A BBA student may not count EC255 or BU275 toward the Economics minor.
