Non-Business/Non-Economics and Advisor Approved Electives (AAEs)

As a business major you are required to take 48-54 credits of non-business/non-economics electives. University core, math, stats, and some economics classes count in this category, but the average student still needs about 10-12 credits of non-business/non-economics coursework. If you are Management or Marketing student you also get to take advisor approved electives (AAE), which can be non-business classes. Yes, the two categories can double count!

These requirements are part of your Jabs business degree because we want to you to be well-rounded, thoughtful global citizens. We encourage you to use these electives to feed your passions, identify new interests, explore new disciplines, take risks, tailor your degree to YOU, and make YOUR degree even more valuable. This guide is not an exhaustive list of MSU courses (not even close!), but it’s designed to get you thinking about all the amazing courses available to you at MSU.
