Minor in Business
For Non-School of Business and Leadership Majors
The Business minor is designed to provide students in non-business majors with an understanding of the language and basic concepts of business. Offered through the School of Business and Leadership, the minor introduces students to the foundation areas of business by drawing on core courses to give a broad, non-specialized exposure to business. It is designed to provide entry-level employment skills for a wide range of jobs and to help provide a bridge to the business world for non-business majors.
The minor offers a concentrated area of coursework to supplement your major field of study. It is designed to enhance the range of topics and knowledge for a well-rounded student. It can provide exposure to important concepts that help students prepare for a fast-paced workplace.
Business at CCU
With recent trends in corporate America, there is a rising demand for a new kind of business leader — one equipped with practical knowledge, sound decision-making skills, entrepreneurial vision, and an ethical focus. The world needs leaders who understand that "ethics" isn't just the topic of the day, but is central to how we operate in business and in everyday life. Leaders must understand that ethics is not a matter of relativism. Instead, ethics ought to be a product of natural law. Ethical rights and duties ought not be determined by what society decides is right and wrong. At CCU, we teach that ethics must rely upon an understanding of morality based upon Scripture and a Christian worldview. That is the difference that sets our business students apart.
