[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he isn’t strong in math avoid Econ. 
I’d suggest a digital marketing or (something like that) minor. It will play to his creative side but stretch him with some data, comms, and analysis (if he picks the right classes). [/quote]

A business minor winks at practicality but the art major will outweigh. I think you need a dual major to balance the art.

Digital marketing is a good suggestion.  Marketing is a specialty within business that is revenue generating and therefore has business value. Thinking back to MBA school, some business core courses are not particularly necessary.  Financial Accounting is easy to forget if not regularly used.  Organizational Behavior is interesting but skippable.  Statistics literacy is important but Business Statistics is not likely to be different from regular Stats 101. I liked the Business Decisionmaking class I took but I was already pretty logical about how I structure decisions. Econ and operations management have not been super useful to me.  What I recommend is Cost Accounting and any courses with applied project work for real businesses.  I took a class called Practical Plant Evaluation that was pretty interesting. And did work for a plastic partmaking company that needed to improve their inventory and process flow.

If you want to develop communication skills then English, Communications, and Journalism are obvious potentials.[/quote]
