The Business Curriculum Core
|
In addition to the course requirements for each major in business, all students seeking the B.B.A. degree must complete a group of courses called "the business core."
The courses cover a broad range of business topics which are considered to be essential for all business students. Particular emphasis is placed on the applications of decision-making principles based on current business practices, including the increasing use of quantitative management techniques. This core provides the foundation for additional study in the various business fields.
