In addition, the College has put a greater emphasis on faculty advising, so guidance begins right at the freshman level and continues as the student progresses. While a student may specialize in one particular area of business, the College has designed a curriculum that exposes students to a wide range of business knowledge and experience . This curriculum includes courses in international business and business technology . Since business graduates who have an understanding of the intricacies of international business are better prepared for the realities and opportunities they will face in the workplace, the College offers all business majors a variety of unique opportunities to travel and observe business practices throughout the world. Examples of these opportunities are the Spring Break Course Trips and the Summer Study Abroad program.
Technology is another major component of business today.
Therefore, each student is provided with numerous opportunities for hands-on experiences with the latest business software and technology. Additionally, through other unique classroom experiences, valuable internships and community service business projects, our students receive a 'well rounded' education which prepares them to meet the challenges of a changing world. Nursing students find that the School of Nursing provides an academically nurturing environment that employs the latest in teaching methods and computer technology. The School of Nursing's position within the College of Business provides a distinct advantage for its students since health care is a business, and nursing is responsible for the management of patient care. Each nursing student is required to earn nine credits in business related courses and is provided with opportunities for international study as well.
