Minors in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences

Students in the Walton College of Business Administration may pursue an academic minor in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. Academic minors usually consist of 15 to 18 hours of course work. The available minors and course requirements are specified in the Fulbright College section of the Undergraduate Studies Catalog. Students must notify the Undergraduate Studies Office of the Walton College of Business Administration of their intention to pursue a minor. The Walton College of Business Administration will certify that the requirements of the minor have been satisfied by graduation and, with the assistance of the Fulbright College, will advise students on the requirements to complete a minor. The minor will be designated on the student's transcript.

Courses that are part of the "University Core Requirements" or the "Additional General Education Requirements" or any other non-business course that is part of a student's course of study may also be counted for credit in a minor. For example, ANTH 1023, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, is a concentration in the B.S.B.A. Social Science bloc and can also be used to satisfy the requirements of the anthropology minor. Other courses in a minor will be counted as general education electives. Walton College of Business Administration economics majors in the Business Economics concentration or the International Economics and Business concentration may not obtain a Fulbright College minor in economics
