Business Foundations Minor
Limited to students from outside the business department who are pursuing the 4+1 MBA program and have that attribute attached to their Banner record.
Students can apply for the 4+1 program after completing one semester at Messiah University. This minor allows students to attain the necessary prerequisites for the MBA.
Students in the 4 + 1 program take 2 MBA courses during their senior year that ONLY count toward their MBA. Students take MRKT 515 before they take BUSA 501 if they are in the 4 + 1 program. Therefore, all students in the strategy course (BUSA 501) will have taken a Marketing course. This keeps the minor at 18 credits since MRKT 515 counts only toward the MBA degree.
Students in the 4+1 program need to make sure they have between 12-15 UG credits per semester their senior year for their UG degree in order to take 1-2 MBA courses without impacting UG financial aid. For financial aid purposes, the students need to be full-time for the UG degree in order to take the extra MBA courses during their senior year.
