The Business Program offers both a major and minor in business. The major offers concentrations in finance, marketing, management, analytics, entrepreneurship, and international business. An accounting pathway is also available to Business Scholars. Classroom activities are augmented by guest executive lecturers and entrepreneurial leaders in the corporate, non-profit, and governmental sectors of the economy. Business Scholars meeting the program’s GPA requirement (3.0 career GPA by the end of the fall term of the junior year) are eligible to complete a paid, project-based internship. Business Scholars also participate in skillbuilding workshops such as business etiquette, resume writing, and interviewing techniques. Numerous networking events are also an important part of the Business Program.
