Business Minor


In the SC Johnson College of Business  

The business minor in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is a popular option for a number of majors—so popular, in fact, that it is one of the largest undergraduate minors available on campus. This means diverse classroom discussions, professional connections, and industry insights you wouldn’t have gained as part of your major’s course requirements.

What’s more, basic business skills and foundational knowledge makes you a more marketable job or graduate school candidate.
