Business

UW-Superior’s School of Business and Economics offers a business minor as an on-campus degree. The business minor provides non-business majors with an excellent opportunity to acquire and apply business knowledge and skills to their major fields. For many career paths, it can be just as important to have a strong understanding of how your industry or area of focus functions in the business world as it is to understand the career itself. A minor in business provides supplementary knowledge in business to market yourself for more advanced career opportunities. Students commonly combine a business minor with majors such as art therapy, health and wellness management, music, social work and many others to broaden their resume for the job market.
