Why Choose Business?
Although the name of the school is "business", graduates find careers in government and nonprofit organizations as well as in the corporate world. All enterprises need mangers regardless of their mission.
Advancement opportunities in every career field require management skills. Therefore business degrees prepare students for leadership roles in both the private and public sectors.
Along with management skills, business students also learn to communicate well and to use informational technology effectively. Computer skills are as much a part of the academic experience today as pencils and paper were a mere decade ago.
Vast storehouses of information are only a few clicks away via the Internet, but finding the precise information needed can be as elusive as searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack. Business students learn how to navigate the World-Wide Web labyrinth to extract information relevant to their needs. Then they learn how to apply the information to the problem at hand.
In the process of studying the content areas, business students also learn how to conduct primary research that builds on the secondary research via the Internet. Then they learn how to effectively organize and present the results of their research both orally and in written reports.
Students may choose from degrees in Accounting, Business Education, or Business Administration - as well as choosing from seven concentrations within Business Administration. Business students are eagerly recruited for many potentially lucrative, emotionally satisfying careers. As managers of corporations, nonprofit organizations, and governmental units, the business graduates of today are poised to become the leaders of the new millenium.
