VSB MAJORS AND MINORS
BUSINESS MAJORS, MINORS AND CONCENTRATIONS
To earn a business major, you will take six courses beyond the core business coursework in a specific field of study. If you choose to also earn a minor, you need to complete three or four courses beyond the required coursework.
DECLARING A BUSINESS MAJOR
At VSB, you will select your major during your sophomore year—and you’re far from alone in this process. The Clay Center at VSB ensures that you have the support you need from a team of experts. You will have a professional academic advisor for your entire VSB experience to guide you through every step of academic planning. Faculty mentors are also available to share a wealth of knowledge and expertise about their discipline, and to suggest secondary majors, minors or concentrations that support your interests.
