If you are pursuing a non-business major, some business understanding
will certainly enhance your undergraduate learning experience. The college offers three business
minors—business, entrepreneurship, or marketing. Your minor will be awarded at graduation along with your major degree.
For admission to the minor, students need to be fully admitted to their major in another college and must have an overall GPA of 2.50. All courses counting toward the minor must be taken at FIU. Business majors are not eligible for a minor.
Business minor requirements
To earn a business minor, you'll need to take five business courses, some of which have lower division prerequisites. If you complete the courses with grades of "C" or higher, the minor status and the knowledge are yours.
The following courses are required:
Entrepreneurship minor requirements
The Eugenio Pino and Family Global Entrepreneurship Center, founded in 2003 at Florida International University, facilitates all entrepreneurial activities at FIU, which includes academic programs. The center's programs provide campus-wide awareness of entrepreneurship as an approach to life that enhances and transcends traditional academic experiences. It is woven into the fabric of FIU through activities and courses across the university.
The multi-dimensional nature of the program allows it to address the unique entrepreneurial needs of the nation's largest ethnically diverse academic institutions, located in one of America's most entrepreneurial and dynamic international cities, Miami.
Whether in the arts, sciences, business, engineering, or humanities, entrepreneurship at FIU adds value to every discipline and enhances the creativity and innovation of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The center encourages all majors to enroll in entrepreneurship courses.
