For Non-Rutgers Business School students
The Business of Fashion program was designed to bridge the gap between creativity and business acumen. It is for artistic individuals who want to solidify their understanding of business, as well as for business students who want to learn how to apply solid business practices to the arts industries.
The Business of Fashion minor is available for non-Rutgers Business School majors. The minor requires completion of 18 credits; 9 in basic business skills, and 9 in specialty courses.

The basic business skills courses are specialized versions of our existing business core courses. Students may substitute the relevant business core course for any of the basic business skills courses. Specifically, Accounting for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses (29:382:103) can be replaced with Introduction to Financial Accounting (29:010:203); Finance for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses (29:382:203) can be replaced with Introduction to Finance (29:390:330) which requires Basic calculus (29:640:119) or higher; and Marketing for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses (29:382:202) can be replaced with Introduction to Marketing (29:630:301).
RBS also offers a minor in entrepreneurship. The three basic business skills courses can substitute for the "preliminary core requirements" now required for the entrepreneurship minor.
