Within the Business, Organizations, and Management major, students rely on a critical managerial perspective for understanding and analyzing the evolving relationships of businesses with local, national, and global constituencies.
The major’s rigorous curriculum fosters the development of a strong background in microeconomics, accounting, organizational behavior, statistics, research methods, marketing, and ethics. It also provides opportunities to critically analyze topics such as business law, entrepreneurship, finance, organizational culture, systems thinking, and policies and strategies.
Students may combine their business major with another major orminor such as Economics, International Affairs, Mathematical Economics, Public Policy, or any of our other academic programs.
