The Business minor and Business coursework programs are available to majors in a modern foreign language or linguistics only. The minor consists of seven courses. The business coursework consists of 14-15 courses, and is the functional equivalent of a second major. No more than 25% of the 38 courses required for graduation may be taken from The McDonough School of Business. The requirements for each program are outlined below.

Four prerequisites:

• Principles of Accounting (ACCT-001) or Accounting I (ACCT-101)
• Microeconomics (ECON-001)
• Macroeconomics (ECON-002)
• Statistics with Exploratory Data Analysis (MATH-006) or Economic Statistics (ECON-121)

Note: Calculus I (MATH-035) is a prerequisite for any Finance class.

The four prerequisites must be completed before enrolling in any other business coursework and prior to submitting a request for the minor. The minor request is submitted to the Georgetown College Dean's Office. The College Dean's Office will forward all requests to The McDonough School of Business at the end of each semester.

Upon completion of the four prerequisites and acceptance into the minor, students select three upper-level electives from the areas of Marketing, Management, or Finance. Please note all restrictions, prerequisites and fall/spring availability as indicated in the Course Descriptions sections of this Bulletin and the Schedule of Classes.
