General Requirements for Undergraduate Programs
|
|
The College’s seven business major programs focus on interrelations among business enterprise, the economy, and society. Students develop skills in the use of quantitative data and theoretical tools in analyzing problems related to business and the economy. They are also assisted in developing the skills and intellectual capacities which foster mature and competent judgment.
Students enrolled as business majors complete a common program of study during the first two years. This lower-division program emphasizes a general education background with courses in the humanities, mathematics, and both social and natural sciences. The objective of this approach is to provide a foundation of work in those academic areas necessary for the appropriate combination of descriptive and analytical skill development to the study of business.
