MGT 104 or 110 respectively. Such
course waivers correspondingly reduce
the unit requirement for the minor from
the maximum of 24 to a possible 12 —
the minimum allowable under the Title
5 code. This adjustment accommodates
the university policy that “courses in a
major cannot be applied toward a minor
unless designated as ‘additional require-ments’
to the major.”
3. Concerning the course selections to sat-isfy
the production operations core
requirement and the focus elective, con-sult
with the minor adviser about which
choices match your career plans.
4. All courses in the minor must be taken
for a letter grade; CR/NC grading is not
acceptable.
5. Successful completion of this minor re-quires
a 2.0 GPA for all courses in the

Agricultural Business Minor
This minor field of study is principally
designed for agricultural science and busi-ness
majors. Those students majoring in
animal, plant, and food sciences may seek
to complement their technical knowledge
with competencies in agricultural business
for professional advancement. Students ma-joring
in one of the business degree options
may anticipate staying in the San Joaquin
Valley where they will most likely become
involved with and require an understand-ing
of the agricultural sector as employees,
clients, or customers of agribusiness firms.
The minor also provides a foundation for
graduate study in agricultural business or
agricultural economics.
You should consult with your faculty ad-viser
in the Agricultural Economics Depart-ment
to plan your program. The adviser
and the department chair must approve the
minor program of study before it can be
certified by the school dean, filed with the
Office of Evaluations, and recorded on
your transcript.
The minor consists of 24 units, of which
equivalent courses are acceptable for 12
units.
