Undergraduate Business major requirements

Prior to admission to the business major, you will work on completing general education requirements, which apply to all UNC students, and prerequisites for admission to the major, many of which satisfy general education requirements.

Areas of emphasis

Although not required, you may choose to complete up to two areas of emphasis (AOE) as part of your major electives. AOEs give you the opportunity to customize your major based on your interests and desired career trajectory. All AOEs are 9 credits. You also can work with our academic advisors to design your own plan of study so you can focus on the specific skills, content areas and themes that interest you.
