Introducing Professional Minors
In fall 2018, Stevenson will begin offering Professional
Minors that can be paired with a variety of majors to give
students a professional edge and additional career options
through their academic studies. The first five Professional
Minors are Applied Management, Entrepreneurship and
Small Business Development, Human Resources, Real Estate,
and Software Design and Coding.
Each of the five Professional Minors consists of four cours-
es tied to a specific industry or profession. Professional Mi-
nors are intended to give students additional career options,
a competitive edge in the job market, and an opportunity to
shape their Stevenson experience to meet their specific ca-
reer goals. Professional Minors can be paired with different
majors.
Examples of Professional Minors in Practice include:
• A Professional Minor in Software Design and Coding
can help English majors put their words and ideas to
work in emerging careers in gaming, virtual reality,
web content design, digital publishing, and creative
entrepreneurship.
• Students majoring in the visual and performing arts
can prepare to launch their own innovative enterprise
with a Professional Minor in Entrepreneurship and
Small Business Development.
• A Professional Minor in Human Resources can prepare
psychology majors for careers in human resources
management; employee recruitment, training, and
development; employee compensation and benefits; or
labor relations.
• Students majoring in Legal Studies can explore oppor-
tunities residential and commercial real estate with a
Professional Minor in Real Estate, working for such em-
ployers as law firms, financial institutions, real estate
development firms, insurance companies, government
agencies, and more.
• A Professional Minor in Applied Management can open
doors to leadership careers in the scientific industry,
clinical management, or business for students majoring
in a program in the Beverly K. Fine School of the
