Accounting, management, and international business are offered by the Department of Economics and Business. Business Information Systems is an interdepartmental program combining studies in computer information systems from the Department of Computer Science with management courses from the Department of Economics and Business. Courses are taught by full-time Linfield faculty members, qualified faculty of Southwestern Oregon Community College or other institutions of higher learning, or by practicing professionals or business people. Adjunct faculty are selected by the academic departments of the college to deliver the quality education long associated with the traditional residential program of Linfield. Most courses meet one evening per week or on weekends.
Some courses use a combination of teleconferencing, campus visits and guided study.
The Social and Behavioral Science degree may be either a B.S. or a B.A., with the latter representing competence in a second language. An interdisciplinary major, Social and Behavioral Science draws its 40 credits in the major from certain courses in Business and Economics, in History, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. As with all the Linfield majors, a certain number of credits presented in the major must be upper division Linfield courses, but a number of major credits may be transferred in from the community college or other academic institutions. The Bachelor of Arts in Arts and Humanities is interdisciplinary, with its 40 major course credits coming from Art, Communication, Theater and Communications Arts, English, Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, and Religion. In addition to the preceding requirements, the student must demonstrate competence in a foreign language and complete a senior research project.
