<p>But it also says,"Students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences may apply for a minor in Business."</p>

<p>Is there any way Engineering students can do this minor too, or is it exclusively for CALS students?</p>

<p>Also, ECE has a 18 LAC and 6 Advisor approved credit requirement.</p>

<p>So, if I do that minor (that is, if I'm allowed), would this take care of all those requirements?</p>

<p>There's an engineering management minor...I believe that's what you're looking for Arjun.</p>

<p>Arjun--engineering students can't have an AEM minor. I asked about it once. I think only CALS students can minor in AEM... but I know engineers can't. Mercury is right, go with OR if you want management training, or pull a 5-year engineering + MBA track? (Anyone know if that's still offered?)</p>

<p>yeah the knight program offers that, but I would wait and see if the MBA school continues to improve or falters.</p>

<p>Btw Arjun, any engineering major will take you into business, seriously. For example, you could be a mechanical engineer like my friend's dad, he ended up working for GE, and within a few years he applied for an MBA got in and went back and now pulls $2million+ a year.</p>

<p>The 5 year engineering+MBA program is hard to get into, I don't know how hard though. There's also a 6 year B.S. + M.S. + MBA</p>

<p>Operations Research is the Engineering+Business major (in the college of Eng.)
Engineering Management is the Engineering+Business minor (in the college of Eng.)</p>

<p>wait a minute, does that mean i can't pursue a minor at cals if im enrolled in the coll of eng? that blows... i can still take AEM classes though right, cuz everyone needs the basic marketing and entrepreneurship skills.</p>

<p>Minors have to be within the college, but you can take as many classes as you want in any college. You can dual degree (two majors in two colleges) but that's very hard to do because you also have to fulfill each college's core requirements. You also have to take a certain number of liberal arts courses... it's really a broad, diverse, and varied education. You'll see when you get here.</p>

<p>i didn't know there was an engineering minor?</p>

<p>I've been hearing you can do a concentration from any college...does that apply to AEM too? Does a concentration have the same effect as a minor?</p>
