Students must demonstrate competency in reading, writing, library information retrieval, computer science and speech. A core of eight business courses is required for all students seeking the bachelor of science degree in the business area, in addition to fulfilling general education requirements designed to give students a broad overview of the various University academic disciplines. All undergraduate courses are taught by University faculty, not graduate assistants. Findlay's faculty bring a strong business and corporate background to their classroom teaching. Academic advising is an important part of the business program.
Professors serve as academic advisors to students in planning courses of study and career direction.
Students enter the accounting principles courses, progress through the upper-level courses and conclude with accounting theory. The program provides more courses than necessary for adjacent states' CPA academic requirements. The City of Findlay and its surrounding area is home to several large and small companies with national and international business interests. These companies represent manufacturing, service and financial interests and have traditionally sought our graduates for internships and permanent employment opportunities.
