  • Students must be in an on-campus program. The minor is not available to UF students in online programs.  
  • All 3000-level and above coursework must be completed at the University of Florida.
  • All course and grade prerequisites must be satisfied. Because the prerequisites for some upper-division accounting courses include business courses not included herein, non-business majors typically have to complete additional business courses to complete this minor.
  • A minimum grade of C is required for each course in the minor, except for ACG 2021 and ACG 2071, which require a minimum grade of B.
  • With advanced approval from the associate director, additional 3000-level or above accounting courses may be substituted for the requirements listed above.
