Undergraduate Programs
Overview
Our undergraduate programs are designed to provide students with an appreciation and understanding of the social, political, and economic environment of business. Consistent with most comprehensive programs in business administration and management, the faculty of the School of Business firmly supports the thesis that professional studies in business can be best achieved with a solid liberal arts foundation. Consequently, the initial two years of the traditional four-year baccalaureate program, are devoted to preparation in the humanities, fine arts, behavioral sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, and mathematical sciences.
Undergraduate programs are structured to ensure that each student has a firm grasp of the major principles and practices involved in the management of complex business and industrial organizations. The third year of study is devoted chiefly to acquiring these common body of knowledge skills. The fourth year of study is devoted to advanced study in a selected field.
In general, all programs leading to a baccalaureate degree in business are comprised of :
- Critical Foundations in the Arts and Sciences requirements;
- the Common Body of Knowledge courses; and
- Concentration requirements.
Undergraduate programs are structured such that at least fifty percent (50%) of a student's course work is devoted to studies in the arts and sciences. Students are required to enroll in courses at the proper level. Courses with numbers 0 - 1999 are typically for freshmen; courses with numbers 2000 - 2999 are typically sophomore level courses; courses with numbers 3000 - 4999 are junior and senior level courses. Certain approved 4000 - 4999 courses may be used for graduate credit. Students with less than 56 semester credits may not enroll in business courses numbered 3000 or above. Freshmen and sophomores enrolling in upper division courses stand the risk of forfeiting any credits that might be earned. Any students enrolling in a business course without the proper prerequisites stand the risk of forfeiting any credits that might be earned.
