Business Core Courses
Core courses serve as a common body of knowledge. These core courses expose students to different areas of business so students can understand the many areas of expertise used in small to big businesses. Several majors in the College of Business share the same set of 15 core courses while accounting, hospitality management, sport and event management, and marketing majors have core courses specific to those programs.
