The Desautels Faculty of Management has introduced four Minors that allow undergraduates to develop a variety of managerial skills that will serve them throughout their chosen careers. The Minors have limited enrolment. Applicants for the Minors must have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 although successful completion of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
