Minor programs are intended primarily for students who seek knowledge of business theory and practice to supplement a non-business major.  A minor is not a part of the degree requirements for business majors at Northeastern.
 
 
 ADVISING FOR BUSINESS MAJORS & MINORS

Before taking courses for your actual major, anyone desiring to have a major in a business program is required to take certain basic classes to give you a basis on which to build your business education. Thus they are called Foundation Courses.  For more details, click on the link at the left or make an appointment to see an advisor!
