Retail Studies Minor Requirements & Scheduling
The main objective of the Retail Studies Program is to provide students with the qualifications to enter the exciting and dynamic retail industry in such fields as buying & planning, e.commerce, store management, global sourcing, and information technology. The Retail Studies Program is open to undergraduates in all fields within the University.
Participation in the Program provides students with a strong business background in the use of consumer information & information technology, as well as an opportunity to explore the retail field in depth through both an Internship and the Senior Seminars. The Institute also sponsors pre-placement events for participants in the Retail Studies Program.
In addition to completing a set of core requirements, students pursue either a multi-channel or internet retailing option which allows for more in-depth study in their areas of interest.
