The PCSB offers minors in accountancy and finance. Minors offer students the opportunity to focus on an academic area that may complement their major. Both business majors and non-business majors may consider completing an accountancy or finance minor.

Marketing Minor

The Providence College marketing minor enables students from the School of Arts & Sciences and School of Professional Studies to acquire new marketing communication skills and gain a greater understanding of the connections between the liberal arts and business. The minor complements various non-business majors by creating pathways for students to bridge their main academic focus in liberal arts or professional studies with the business world.
