Science-Business Minor (Business Majors)
The Science-Business minors, joint minors between the Fermanian School of Business and the Biology and Chemistry Departments, are for business students who are interested in pursuing business careers in innovative science-related industries such as biotechnology, medical device, and pharmaceutical. Three emphases are available:
- Chemistry Emphasis
- Ecology Emphasis
- Molecular Emphasis
