Undergraduates with majors outside the Cox School may complete the minor in business, which is an open-enrollment program with no grade-based admission requirements. The minor in business offers courses designed to provide a general overview of business topics to complement a variety of academic interests. The minor in business requires:
- A minimum 2.000 business and 2.000 minor in business GPA.
- Completion of the 18 credit hours specified for the minor below.
Minor in business courses will be accepted in transfer prior to matriculation, but once a student has entered SMU, all remaining minor in business courses and a minimum of nine credit hours of business coursework must be completed through enrollment in courses offered by the faculty of the Cox School of Business .
Note: With the exception of BUSE 3310 and FINA 3312 , no courses offered for the minor in business may be taken by B.B.A. majors or students enrolled in the minor in business administration. BUSE 3310 and FINA 3312 may be taken as free (nonbusiness) elective credit by B.B.A. majors and students enrolled in the minor in business administration. These courses will not count as business hours toward any B.B.A degree. Students may not receive credit for both BUSE 3310 and FINA 3312 .
