What you'll study

The minor focuses on providing foundational information systems knowledge tailored to each student’s degree program. HTM and non-business majors are expected to complete 12 credits of BIA (business information analytics) courses to establish that foundation; College of Business students have the option to incorporate additional elective credits as part of their minor.

Entry requirements

Requirements vary by home college. HTM and other non-business majors must take 12 credits of BIA courses as the basis for the minor. Students in the College of Business follow a pathway that allows use of extra elective credits toward the minor.

Career prospects

The minor is intended to strengthen information-systems literacy alongside a student’s main field of study. It is suitable for those seeking to augment business, hospitality, or technical degrees with applied information-systems skills that support a range of workplace roles.

Scholarships & funding angle

Funding for the minor follows the university’s general scholarship and financial-aid policies. Prospective students should consult Purdue University Northwest’s financial-aid office and college-specific resources for scholarship opportunities that can be applied to elective and minor coursework.
