Good for you majoring in graphic design! It is the way of the world these days!! As far as a business minor, to be able to minor in a course you should have a certain amount of units in that particular area. This is a good question for your school counselor to help you with, different schools have different requirements. To piggy back with your Graphic Design major in the business area you might think about Marketing and Public Relations. There is always a need for design in those areas. You might decide to take a couple classes at a junior college at night or at other university .
I would also suggest that if you know someone in this field of Graphic design, you might want to interview them and ask questions as to what kinds of Graphic design work they mostly do. If there is a need for taking the marketing classes and/or PR classes to better your experience and education. It will give you information on the real world of Graphic design and what you might need to do with your education. These are both in the Business section.
I wish you the best in your future within the Graphic Design Field and hope that I have offered some ideas for thought.

Every educational institution has its own rules about the number of credit hours for a minor. It’s usually a minimum of 12 course credits (generally 3 corses) to 18 course credits.
So, what you need to do, once enrolled as a freshman, is to have a conversation with your college advisor.
I would recommend a course in marketing and accounting and finance - all of which should provide you with practical insights into the world of business.
Your choice of a minor is a good one!

You have a great plan - Graphic Design and Business minor. I would recommend everyone get a business minor. There are so many avenues you can pursue with marketing or management classes. You can set up your own business in the future. Each college will let you know how to get a minor and they all have their own requirements. Best of luck in your education!
