Business

Social responsibility matters.

You’ll have the opportunity to pursue two different fields within business—business management and sustainable entrepreneurship. Both majors share core courses that provide you with a foundational understanding of economics, finance, management, marketing, and social responsibility.

Business Management major

This major prepares you for a career. You’ll develop management and strategic planning skills necessary for the modern business world. You will have the opportunity to participate in the Cooperative Education Internship Program to explore careers in small business, industry, and government while earning credit. You’ll be prepared to pursue a career in accounting, small business, and management. View Business Management Major (B.S.) course list.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship major

Consumers are increasingly wanting to take responsibility for their health and for society.  In this major, you will build on the basics of entrepreneurship and ecological and social concerns through the creation of new enterprises and innovation in existing enterprises. Through coursework and case studies, you will learn to recognize change by understanding that the consuming public is becoming increasingly concerned about these challenges to a sustainable world and to recognize market opportunities for sustainability-focused businesses. You will leave college prepared to enter the world of socially responsible startups. View Sustainable Entrepreneurship Major (B.S.) course list.

Sports Management Minor

Sports management is an exciting mash up of athletics and business that will open doors in sports management, marketing, ticket sales, game-day operations, and community relations for a variety of professional and amateur sport organizations, and collegiate athletic conferences.

You will learn the cultural traditions, social values, and ethical and psycho-social experiences related to sports; the concepts of management and leadership; and the skills, roles, and functions of sports managers. You will also apply fundamental marketing concepts to the sport industry, apply and evaluate principles of interpersonal communication, mass communications, and public relations. In short, you will learn the business of sports.
