Management Minor

The Business Management minor provides a basic understanding of what it takes to organize and manage complex organizations in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. The coursework focuses on achieving results through effective management and leadership. Students have an opportunity to work with instructors who have professional backgrounds in business and to experience a project team environment.

Minors are an important part of the undergraduate curriculum.  If students declare a minor by sophomore year, they can usually complete it in a timely manner.  Students should work with their advisor to determine if it is possible that the minor can be completed by graduation.  

To receive a minor, a student must complete at least 9 credit hours of coursework distinct from their major(s) and from other minors, and students must complete more than 50% of the coursework required for the minor at Canisius. Please note that “ancillary/supporting” courses required for a major may still count as distinct courses as long as the remaining coursework still meets the 30 credit-hours required for a major. For more information about minor policies, please see the Declaring Majors and Minors page in the catalog.
