The College of Business at Colorado State University offers a Business Administration Minor that covers many aspects of business including accounting, finance, marketing and management. The Business Administration Minor is a 24-credit curriculum that allows you to enhance your primary program of study with a business minor developed specifically for non-business students.

The Business Administration Minor is open to any student at Colorado State University. We currently enroll 1,500 students from almost every major on campus, with particularly high representation from students in construction, restaurant/resort management, speech and animal sciences. Students who pursue a business minor are typically interested in applying their business education to their chosen degree field.
