BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Choose a coherent elective plan before counting the courses

Without a minor, the program calls for all seven Management electives and one senior business elective. With a minor, it specifies four Management electives or three Management electives plus one senior business elective. The minor text also uses 'additional' credits; ask an advisor to map the choices against the 120-credit degree instead of assuming a 132-credit total.
