Pre-Marketing majors may enroll in lower division (below 100/3000-level) business courses only. Enrollment in upper division (100/3000/4000-level) business courses and MKTG 2110 (130:101) requires satisfactory completion of the CBA admission requirements and any course prerequisites.
Marketing majors may declare a double major, double minor, and/or major and minor within the College of Business Administration, subject to the regulations imposed by those CBA departments affected. Marketing majors minoring within the CBA must select minors designated for business majors. Marketing majors may not declare more than one emphasis in Marketing.

In addition, a minimum of nine graded hours must be earned in 100/3000/4000-level, UNI Marketing courses. Students must take at least 50% of the course work required for the degree outside the College of Business Administration. Up to nine hours of economics (excluding ECON 1021 (920:020) ), and six hours of statistics may be counted as outside the College of Business Administration. A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in ACCT xxxx/120:xxx, MKTG xxxx/130:xxx, MGMT xxxx/150:xxx, FIN xxxx/160:xxx, and ECON xxxx/920:xxx courses taken at UNI. Students given permission to graduate out-of-residence must earn a 2.20 or better in all courses approved and accepted for out-of-residence credit.
The Marketing Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second CBA major.

Entrepreneurship Minor
The Entrepreneurship minor will be an extension of the already existing Entrepreneurship certificate. The purpose of the certificate is to engage students in active participation in the development of entrepreneurial enterprises. They will do this through a combination of traditional course work specifically directed to entrepreneurial ventures and participation in an entrepreneurial enterprise experience through the development of a business plan for a new venture and an experiential project. The minor will expand this goal by allowing students to learn entrepreneurship skills that specifically fit their major and career.
The minor will entail the same classes as the Entrepreneurship certificate (currently 15 hours) with the addition of one elective course from the Marketing Department and one elective course from the student’s field of study.
A student can pursue the Entrepreneurship Minor or Entrepreneurship Certificate, but not both.
The full description with prerequisites and hours required are shown below:
Students must meet prerequisites before taking courses. A total cumulative or UNI cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required to declare this minor.
