What is General Business?
The General Business concentration is designed for students who wish to obtain a breadth of knowledge in the fundamentals of business. This concentration offers students the opportunity to earn a degree in business without specializing a particular field. The concentration provides a well-rounded program of study, and the flexibility for individual interests and career planning. Emphasis is placed on understanding business concepts and their application to solving business problems. Thus, the main objective of the program is to develop future business leaders who are creative, knowledgeable, innovative, ethical, and capable of adapting to the dynamic business environment of today’s global marketplace.

General Business professionals work in many areas such as department stores, service industries, financial institutions, non-profit organizations, manufacturing firms and government agencies. Thus, students in this program will acquire the background and training necessary to manage their own businesses or to enter the corporate world in a wide variety of entry-level positions. This concentration provides an excellent foundation for further study in graduate and professional programs.

For students who have completed their first two years of classes at a community college, the College of Business offers the opportunity to complete the last two years completely online with its 2+2 online degree.
