<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm happy about being accepted to arts and sciences; looking through the coursebook, there are plenty of courses that I would love to take. As well, I love the idea of a liberal arts foundation. I'm truly excited, as there are tons of opportunities I can't wait to get a head-start on :)</p>

<p>Thinking everything over, though, I wouldn't mind studying some sort of undergraduate business. Now before everyone says "you should have applied AEM!!," let me say that I'm perfectly content in A&S, and it's not that big of a deal as my interests fit many majors here: French, information systems, possibly econ. etc. I'm just trying to figure out my options. I'm not sure if I want to major in econ though, as I'm not sure how much the subject matter appeals to me. I guess i'll take a class or two at Cornell to find out!</p>

<p>So...what are you guys thinking? Is it at all possible to do a minor in the hotel school? Or AEM?</p>

<p>Or, could I just take enough classes in both of those departments/schools with a A&S major, so that I will have enough of a business base?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>No you cannot major in either Hotel or AEM as a CAS student.</p>

<p>However, you are free to take as many classes as you want and can get in to.</p>

<p>As a CAS student you should have enough freedom to take the courses you think are necessary for a good business base (although to be honest I have no idea what skills or knowledge you mean by a business base)</p>

<p>I’m currently in A&S…planning to major in psychology and take business courses in AEM and ILR (human resources). I’m also seriously considering the PAM minor, which is open to all undergraduates: [PAM</a> Minor](<a href=“http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/PAM/Academics/Undergraduate/pam_minor.cfm]PAM”>http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/PAM/Academics/Undergraduate/pam_minor.cfm)</p>

<p>Don’t worry about not being able to officially minor in a program like AEM. Just take the classes that you’re interested in (which should be easy thanks to the flexibility of A&S), and you can note them as relevant courses on your resume when you apply to business internships/jobs.</p>

<p>chendrix, I know I can’t major anywhere but CAS…but can I minor in hotel or aem?</p>

<p>Thank you both for the responses, they’re very helpful! Any other opinions?</p>

<p>The AEM minor is only available to CALS students…not sure if the Hotel school offers any minors at all, or if they’d be available to CAS students.</p>

<p>There’s a list of minors here that you can look at. PAM’s minor is pretty new, so I guess that’s why it isn’t listed. </p>

<p>countryangel- i’m duly impressed. You found a list of Undergraduate Minors. During all the years I’ve followed the cornell thread, I don’t think anyone was able to provide a definitive listing of available minors.</p>

<p>I suggest someone try to get this info “stickied”, as many people have wanted to see this type of info over the years.</p>

<p>Is it possible that Cornell is trying to make inter-college information a bit more accessible to all students??</p>

<p>Wow, really? I just Googled “Cornell Minors”; it’s the 4th link after one CALS site and two Engineering sites o_O</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure this is a new webpage.</p>

<p>It probably is new. I do not think that info was easily available before.</p>
