Business Curriculum
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.

The curriculum is broken up into three categories:

  1. First Year
  2. Second Year
  3. Third & Fourth Year
