The Business Minor provides students with exposure to a basic core of business courses. The student will take at least one course in each department of the College of Business Administration and, thereby, gain an overview of the world of business while pursuing a degree in another College within Kent State University (Liberal Arts or Fine Arts).

The Business Minor is self-contained and assumes no prior experience with business concepts. It is designed to complement a student's primary career field, whatever that might be, by providing knowledge of a broad range of business functions: accounting, administration, economics, finance, and marketing. Completion of the Business Minor will prepare students to understand and, to a limited extent, manage the business functions of an organization.
