An intellectually stimulating and challenging foundation in business and economics with a variety of curriculum choices to prepare them for careers in business, accounting, hospitality management, and other arenas. We're focusing on solutions to problems. A 54-credit core program provides the heart of the undergrad curriculum in business administration, with integrative studies and coverage of basic disciplines and practical fields. It includes courses in financial and management accounting, microeconomics and macroeconomics, management and managerial marketing, math and statistics, law and public policy, international economics and business, plus an introduction to computers.
Students then build on that foundation through courses in their chosen major.
An accounting major takes at least 18 credits in that field, for example, including classes in auditing, accounting information systems, and cost and managerial accounting. A human resources major needs at least 12 credits in organizational staffing, personnel training, compensation and reward systems, and workplace diversity. And major requirements in finance include courses in insurance, investment strategies, computer-based financial modeling, and risk management. There are enrichment opportunities as well. For instance, Honors College students can develop their own distinctive studies across departmental and disciplinary lines.
