The Bachelor of Science in Business program is designed to prepare graduates with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values to effectively apply various business principles and tools in an organizational setting. The BSB entry sequence exposes students to valuable theoretical knowledge and best practices in the areas of management, organizational behavior, research and evaluation, and critical thinking and problem-solving. In all BSB program coursework, the curriculum addresses critical business issues in the areas of diversity, globalization, ethics, technology, and e-business.
The Global Business Management Major emphasizes fundamental principles and practices of conducting global business activities. Components of the Major include international marketing, international trade and investment, global finance, global human resource management, and global value-chain management. Students will integrate advanced topics in global business management through real-life applications. The program promotes the development of a “global mindset” and reflects the dynamic nature of global business realities.
In addition to the BSB business entry coursework, the global business management major stresses skill development in the areas of business law, accounting and finance analysis, computers and information processing, general marketing, and macroeconomics.
