Business Major with CA&S minor?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Alabama

<p>Looking at the undergraduate catalog the CA&S section lists several business areas you can add as a minor in addition to a CA&S major. However, I don’t see the same option if you are a business major. Does anyone know if you can have a business major and a CA&S minor (example finance major and bio or chem minor) and if so how do you go about it? The core requirements are different for the two colleges so I guess you would fulfill the core requirements of your major. Would you then just add the CA&S minor and enroll in those courses or is it more complicated than that?</p>

<p>Minors don’t have “core req’ts” like majors do. You fulfill the Core for your major.</p>

<p>I know that some B majors do have A&S minors because some are in CBH (which is a A&S minor)…and some are getting foreign language minors.</p>

<p>Technically, business majors can have a major/minor in anything in addition to their business major. It’s up to the student to fulfill all major/minor requirements and the additional major must be declared. Your college of record will be CBA and your degree will be granted by CBA.</p>

<p>Oddly enough, there are some majors/minors traditionally offered by other departments (notably math and modern languages) that are administered by CBA when part of a CBA student’s degree plan.</p>

<p>If you decide to major in economics, be aware that while taught by CBA faculty, a student can major in Economics either through CBA or through A&S. The A&S version bypasses a lot of CBA-specific requirements, but requires more economics courses.</p>
