The mission of the business management program is to enable majors to be successful in the world of work after graduation. For success, our graduates are expected to acquire knowledge of business theories and practices, as well as develop skills in finding jobs, in job performance, and in career management. Consequently, the curriculum is designed to give individual students a hands-on grasp of business methods, business cultures, and personnel interactions typically found in business organizations. Recognizing that work experience is critical to the student learning process, work experience is simulated in class projects, cases, and labs while actual work experience is the task of our integrated, multiple-stage internship program.
A student considering the business management major is strongly advised to take BUSN 127, BUSN 128, BUSN 131, BUSN 150, BUSN 210, and MATH 205 (or MATH 106) by the end of the second year. Since course sequence is important, potential majors and minors (first- and second year students) are advised to consult with business management professors when selecting classes.
Choose 2 additional 3-credit courses in economics at the 200-level or above.
