The sales minor is a specialized curriculum designed to equip students with the necessary skills to launch careers in sales. The program emphasizes the professional selling process, the importance of trust and relationships, value creation and communication, sales enablement technology, and what to expect from a career. The minor is for both business and non-business majors (except Professional Selling and Marketing).
Students will take four 3-credit required courses, plus two 3-credit electives, for a total of 18 credits for the minor.
Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA in the minor of 2.0.
The courses cannot be taken pass/fail. Some courses in the minor have prerequisites which must be satisfied. At least nine credit hours of the required courses for this minor must be completed in residency at MSU Denver.
An internship is recommended for students with limited sales experience. Twelve credits of upper-division, marketing courses are required; twelve credits must be completed at MSU Denver.
