Business Explorations

Because some students understand their passion, but not how to channel it into a degree program, the Business Explorations option allows them to explore business courses and gain exposure to all aspects of business within their first year before choosing a major from a number of business programs. Students who begin their studies in the Business Explorations program may be eligible to earn a bachelor of science degree at the end of four years of study.

Business Explorations

All students enrolled in the Business Explorations program pursue the following program of study for the first year. Students must declare a major no later than the second semester of study.

Note: Students must pass MATH0010 Pre-Algebra or have equivalent placement scores to enroll in required math courses.
