Business is a source of prosperity, identity, purpose, and power. Global business creates opportunities and exciting innovations. People are increasingly taking steps to harness the power of business to solve society's greatest challenges.
A part of the Wm. Polk Carey Pre-Business Program, the minor in business ("business minor") is anchored in the belief that a liberal arts education offers the best foundation for a business career. Such an education provides a broad understanding of human behavior and institutions, an appreciation of global culture and ´ºË®ÌÃÊÓƵ around the world, and perspectives for developing personal values and ethical standards. It encourages creativity and flexibility of mind that business leadership demands.
With courses ranging from statistics, psychology, economic theory, entrepreneurship to financial accounting, the business minor is ideal for mapping your way to a new career in any industry. Sewanee business minors are eligible to apply for the Carey Fellows business honors program, a mark of distinction designed to prepare students for leadership positions in business and finance.
The business minor offers the opportunity to study economics, accounting, finance, and business ethics and to select complementary courses from disciplines including economics, psychology, politics, computer science, history, forestry, and business. In choosing elective courses, students focus on one of five tracks: managerial, international, finance, environment and sustainability or accounting.
