DEGREE: Bachelor of Business Administration

The marketing major forms the basis for management and operational careers in marketing management, advertising, market research, sales and sales management, transportation and physical distribution management, and retailing. The major is designed to allow a great deal of choice so the student may emphasize any one of these areas.

Most marketing majors enter into careers in business firms, although some find job opportunities in governmental and other nonprofit organizations. Still others become involved in owning and managing their independent companies. Opportunities in entrepreneurship and small business are expanding at a rapid pace.

DEGREE: Bachelor of Business Administration
MAJOR: General Business

The major in general business is based on a broad range of course options rather than a narrow focus on a single discipline. Graduates find careers in large and small businesses, in government agencies, and in the nonprofit sector of our society. Some students seek this major because they are interested in starting or acquiring a small business, and others plan to enter a family business upon graduation. The curriculum does provide a focus on small and new enterprises, thus reflecting the entrepreneurial nature of contemporary business in the U.S. The major is also well suited to the part-time and working student because courses are available in the late afternoon and evening.

Every candidate for this degree must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements for admission to the major (see above).
