Students majoring in Management are not permitted to declare a double major within the College of Business Administration (the Economics/General and Economics/Quantitative Techniques majors are excepted). Management majors may declare a minor within the CBA, but the CBA minor selected must be one of those designated for business majors. Also, not more than one emphasis area may be declared in Management.

Students majoring in Business Teaching and MIS may declare a double major and/or major and minor within the College of Business Administration, subject to the regulations imposed by those CBA departments affected. Business Teaching and MIS majors minoring within the CBA must select minors designated for business majors.
