Most business majors will choose a traditional field of specialization such as Marketing or Finance. However, others may wish to couple the core concepts of business with specialized skills in fields outside those of the traditional business degree. For these students, the General Business Major is a great fit. A student might, for example, earn a general business degree with a minor in music or biology.<\/p>\n
In the first two years of a four-year business degree, students take a broad range of classes. Upper level courses include advanced business courses that are taken by all business majors and major-specific courses that allow students to specialize in their areas of interest.<\/p>\n
A student with a General Business degree has the foundational skills to enter any number of entry-level management positions requiring a BBA degree or to enter an MBA program. A General Business degree coupled with a minor or a second major in another field prepares a student to serve in an administrative position in any number of for-profit or non-profit ventures.<\/p>\n
The Rankin College of Business is AACSB certified. All upper level professors are required to hold doctorates from AACSB certified universities or to have significant professional experience in the areas in which they teach.<\/p>\n
