Business Administration - General Business Concentration BS


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees and Programs (Graduate and Undergraduate)

 

The four-year program in general business is designed to provide a broad understanding of business by focusing on all aspects of its dynamics. A broad-based general education precedes an extensive education in general business. Successfully completing this degree program gives you the necessary tools to enter a career in business or to pursue graduate study. Students planning to pursue graduate degrees are strongly advised to take MATH 1900 as an elective.

The general business program has both a core of business courses and nonbusiness courses. You choose, after consulting with your advisor, at least one upper division course in four of the prescribed elective areas: accounting, automated information systems, finance, management, and marketing. This gives you some flexibility in designing a program which meets your career goals.
