Overview
The Minor in Professional is designed for students that are non-marketing majors, who want to add an additional skill set for career options. Regardless of one's major, developing sales and negotiation skills are likely to help advance one's career. This minor requires an additional 18 credits that provide students with the tools and skills to pursue a career in professional selling as a complement to their major area of study. There is high market demand for students who can combine a deep knowledge in one area/major with the additional skills of professional selling and business negotiations.
Admissions Requirements
The University of Akron Bulletin acts as a guide for degree requirements, however official requirements are established at the time of transfer and admission to the degree-granting college.
