Business Curriculum

The student’s first step is to take core business courses in economics, accounting, management theory, and statistics. Once these courses are completed, she decides on a concentration in accounting, management, international business, business economics, or marketing. After this decision, she takes a second set of courses especially designed to introduce her to more advanced topics in those areas. The final stage is to investigate in greater depth some aspect of her interest through the senior tutorial.
