SAM AND IRENE BLACK SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Curriculum for Business, Liberal Arts, and Science
A minimum of 122 credits is required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Business, Liberal Arts, and Science. Students must earn a grade of C or better in each 300- and 400-level course.
When students formally enter the major (usually in the sophomore year), they work closely with an adviser to select the modules that best fit their professional goals. Here are examples of modules chosen by students based on career interests:
For a student interested in human resources and personnel issues: labor relations, international cultural studies, communications, and psychology. For a student interested in international business or management: accounting, economic analysis, foreign language, and education abroad. For a student interested in law or graduate school: economic analysis, international policy studies, history, and political science.
A typical schedule for a first-semester major includes Rhetoric and Composition or Honors Freshman Composition; Techniques of Calculus or Calculus with Analytical Geometry I; one general education course each in the humanities, natural sciences, and arts; and a 1-credit First Year Seminar. Second semester courses generally include arts, humanities, and natural science general education requirements; and health or kinesiology.
