Business is the engine of progress—it transforms ideas into innovation, fuels growth with opportunity, and drives development that shapes our futures.
As part of the Wm. Polk Carey Pre-Business Program, Sewanee's business minor embraces the idea that a liberal arts education is the best foundation for a business career. It sharpens critical thinking, deepens cultural awareness, and strengthens ethical decision-making—key traits of successful leaders. With an emphasis on creativity and adaptability, Sewanee's business minor program prepares students to tackle business challenges with confidence.
The business minor combines required courses in economics, accounting, finance, and business ethics with electives from psychology, politics, computer science, history, forestry, international and global studies, and business. In choosing elective courses, students focus on one of five tracks: managerial, international, finance, environment and sustainability, or accounting. The business minor is ideal for navigating your way to a new career in any industry.
