This interdisciplinary minor is intended for students in all Schools with an interest in human relations as a subject of study or professional goal.  In addition to coursework in organizational behavior, social psychology, and management, this minor includes attention to questions of ethics and leadership. 

As with all minors, students must include at least four upper-division courses and four courses dedicated exclusively to this minor (not used for credit toward a major, another minor, or general education requirements).  Finally, students must select four courses outside their major department.  Student seeking the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology must choose four courses outside of Sociology; those seeking the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must choose four courses outside the Marshall School. 

This minor was created as a collaboration between the USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the USC Marshall School of Business.  For advisement, contact Cynthia Mata Flores at 213.740.3800 or cmflores@usc.edu.
