Sigmund Weis School of Business: A Business Curriculum for the Future

Majors in the business school include:

• accounting
• economics with emphases in business economics or macroeconomics and global markets
• business administration with emphases in finance, marketing, human resource management, operations management or global management

First-year students take a unique Business Awareness course. This is a great way to become immersed in the School's case study and team approaches. A competitive case analysis presentation to visiting executives concludes the course.

Business foundation courses for all majors provide the broad base of knowledge essential for productive careers.

All business students take an intensive sequence of courses in computer and information technology to prepare them for the rapidly changing ways in which business is conducted worldwide.

Interdisciplinary connections are available in the curriculum.

• A global management option combines study in trade and finance with history, economics and politics.
• A minor in information systems links mathematics and computer science to business applications.
• Another minor pairs international business and foreign language. Knowing and understanding other languages and cultures are important skills in an increasing interconnected world.
• There are also special opportunities in our interdisciplinary Focus programs, which combine courses in the arts and humanities with business and science.
