Business Minor

Declaring the Minor

The Business Minor is designed for students majoring in any non-business degree. If you are majoring in business, you cannot also minor in business.

To declare a business minor, you must complete the following:

  • SJSU Cumulative GPA of 2.6 or better
  • BUS3 160
  • One additional business minor requirement

Once student satisfy the requirements above, they can submit the Transaction Request form via Service #1 for advisor review. If eligible, your MyProgress report will update to reflect your business minor.
