"You get an interesting perspective from actually being there—from feeling the ground under you shake or seeing smoke on the horizon, or talking with Iraqis while walking the streets. It's a little different than what you read in the headlines or see on the nightly news."
- Colonel Frank Gunter
Associate Professor of Economics, USMC Reserves
To obtain the Bachelor of Science degree in business and economics, 124 credit hours are required. The College of Business and Economics academic core consists of 54 credits.
The CBE’s integrated core emphasizes essential business concepts and skills throughout the college experience. Courses in the core curriculum are required of all CBE students and are logically sequenced in a building block approach.
The core includes a mix of liberal arts and business courses which give students an essential understanding of the analytical writing process and applied critical thinking through a selection of English, mathematics and business and economics courses. The liberal arts represents roughly a third of the core curriculum and aims to give our students a well rounded education.
The core introduces first-year students to the basics, then links to more complex concepts and real world issues, and culminates in a senior capstone on strategic decision making. This curriculum is carefully coordinated to eliminate redundancy and to reinforce key topics. Upon graduation, CBE students are able to add value in a real-time context to solve intricate, often unstructured, business problems.
