BUSINESS/ACCOUNTING/
ECONOMICS/SECONDARY BUSINESS
Students may pursue either a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree within
the business program. The business major provides all business students with an
introduction to the following major areas of business: accounting, economics, finance,
global business, information technology, management, marketing, and strategic
management. The bachelor of science degree provides an opportunity for in depth
study beyond the business major in a specific professional field or career
interest. The bachelor of arts degree permits the student to select a minor in another
academic discipline.
The business degree program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business
Schools and Programs (ACBSP). The ACBSP is regarded as the quality standard for
business education.
Students intending to teach secondary business education can complete a certified
major or minor in business education. Certification would be in the subject areas of
accounting, basic business, information/word processing, business computer
programming/systems, or marketing. Contact the director of teacher education for
certification requirements and education department requirements.
Although formal admission to the business program is not required, continuation in
the program is based upon the student’s performance in required courses within the
business major. Students who are entering their junior year will have their progress
reviewed by the business department. Students are required to have at least a 2.0
cumulative GPA in all business requirements to graduate.
Attendance will play a critical role in the student’s successful completion of the goals
and objectives of the business program. Students are expected to attend all class
sessions. Students who miss more than 20 percent of a course’s scheduled classes
will be required to withdraw officially from the course. |
