Student Learning Outcomes

Bachelor of Science in Business

Program Philosophy

The undergraduate program for the Division of Business is focused on doing two things especially well:

1. Providing students with personal attention to their academic careers that is uncommon at the university level. This includes attention to the quality and effectiveness of students' learning environments.
2. Pushing the pedagogical envelop for integration of basic business knowledge and skills.

Driving these is an underlying proposition that we serve our students best by helping them develop as business managers (rather than as business specialists). Concentrations complement business management studies and help students develop their individual interests and target specific careers. Requiring one half of our program’s credits in general education creates a much-needed balanced academic experience and connects business to the broader issues at work in a global society and business environment.

This philosophy is reflected in the structure of the B.S. in Business:

• Basic Skills
• General Education
• Business Fundamentals
• Integrative Core (I-Core)
• International Dimension
• Upper Level Courses
• Functional Concentrations
