| The School of Business
Administration seeks to develop people and knowledge which make
a difference in business and society. For this reason, the
undergraduate curriculum emphasizes three distinct areas of
knowledge: a foundation in the liberal arts (general education
requirements), a firm grounding in the common body of business
knowledge (core business requirements) and specialization in a
business major. Supplemented with opportunities for enrichment,
the curriculum stimulates critical thinking, enhances
communication skills, integrates and synthesizes knowledge, and
fosters ethical decision-making and moral leadership. Built upon
the enduring and fundamental bases of knowledge, it is designed
to prepare students for successful careers in the complex global
economy of the 21st century.
All business students follow essentially the same curriculum
during their first and second year, regardless of major. This
curriculum consists of a common set of general education and
core business requirements. There is some scheduling flexibility
in the program, in that certain courses listed in the first year
can be taken in the second year (or later) and vice versa.
Students should consult an academic advisor in the dean's office
or department of their major for sequencing options.
Students majoring in management information systems and
entrepreneurship need to schedule courses required for the major
during their second year. Students interested in these majors
should follow the course sequence listed for each program. Visit
Academic Information for specifics.
All business students also take fundamentally the same upper
level general education and core business requirements during
the third and fourth year. Note that each major also includes
several hours of general electives, which students often use to
support an additional major or minor. In choosing electives,
students must bear in mind that a minimum of 54 semester hours
of all academic work must be at the 300-400 level. Additionally,
only a maximum of seven hours can double count to fulfill the
requirements of any two separate majors of any major and minor
combination. |
