Students in the College of Business take courses in several business disciplines so that they have a holistic business perspective, which is especially important in smaller and entrepreneurial environments. Emphasis is placed not only upon the concepts and analytical techniques of business decision-making, but also upon the responsibilities and opportunities of businesses to be socially responsible. The program is broad so it serves students as they pursue just about any interest, and as they change interests across their career. It enables students to land in many industries (as seen below) and prepares students for successful careers in the highly competitive global business environment.
