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.  

Program Requirements

  • Aviation Majors
    • The minor requirements are based on your unique area of specialization and catalog term.
    • Connect with a JHSSC advisor to learn more.
  • Engineering Technology Majors
    • The minor requirements are based on your concentration (Computer Network Systems Management or Manufacturing Systems) and catalog term.

Important Notes

  • Although lower-division courses can be taken at a California Community College (connect with a JHSSC advisor to learn more), 6 units must be completed at San Jose State University.
  • At least 12 units of minor coursework must be completely distinct and separate from your major’s course requirements (University Policy S16-4 [pdf]). Courses in support or preparation of the major may be included in the minor.
