Undergraduate Business Minors

The School of Business offers Stevens undergraduate students a variety of business minors designed to help them further diversify their studies, and to complement the technical and arts learning offered in the university's other schools. These minors also are available to students pursuing a business major who are interested in exploring another potential field of professional interest. School of Business students cannot receive a minor in the same field as their concentration or major.
