General Business Concentration

Outcomes:

This concentration allows students to tailor a program to correspond with his/her interests. A student can select for his/her Elective Requirements, courses in business administration, or from any other degree program at the College. The Major Requirements provide a strong foundation in business, but since this concentration allows for flexibility in Elective Requirements, the learning outcomes will depend upon the courses selected. Therefore, the Department focuses on assessing the learning outcomes of the four core courses taken in the Major Requirements, which include: Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Principles of Management and Principles of Marketing. After completing these four core courses the student should

• Know how to prepare financial statements for a company.
• Know how to use accounting information to make informed decisions about a firm's operations.
• Describe the four functions of a manager: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
• Describe the four areas of marketing: product, pricing, promotion, and placement.
