• Minors in finance, management, marketing and entrepreneurship are available to non-business majors. A minor in economics is available to all Carroll students, including business majors.
• As appropriate, courses in the business program use case studies, interactive exercises, simulations, information and communication technologies, and other tools to emphasize practical applications of business concepts.

INTERNSHIPS

• All business students are required to complete a pre-approved internship.
• Students can arrange their own internships or choose from among the numerous internships developed by the director of business internships.

    employment opportunities by teaching students how to effectively communicate and
    work in a business environment.
