Business Degree Basics

Are you a strong raconteur who is good at organizing a team? Do you like working with numbers and solving math problems? Are you skilled in using computers? These qualities are indispensable for success in today's competitive business world. If this is what you like to do, you should consider a major in Business.

Today’s business school students will experience a broad-based education that focuses on a lot more than business-related courses. In your first two years you will take courses in arts and sciences like classes in calculus, psychology and/or sociology, economics, computers, writing, communications, accounting, and statistics. Your professional business education generally begins junior year, and includes a set of core courses in areas such as finance, management and organizational behavior, marketing, and operations management. The remainder of your junior and senior year will be focused on courses related to your specific business major, electives, and a course in business policy.
