Corporate Social Responsibility, Minor
Murray Koppelman School of Business
Program Overview
When you major in business management, you may choose from five minors, including corporate social responsibility. This minor complements a program in business management because you will learn how companies can be socially accountable to themselves, their stakeholders, and the public. Companies that emphasize social responsibility give back to the community and support ethical practices, which can help earn them a good reputation and increased revenue. This program is an interdepartmental minor for students, offered by the Department of Business Management and the Department of Philosophy.
