General Business
All business majors gain a strong background in theory and practical applications in a breadth of business disciplines. Business students complete courses in accounting, economics, finance, management, management information systems and marketing. Most students select one major area of emphasis from these disciplines for further concentration.
The FMU School of Business offers students the option of developing a broader major in General Business. Rather than taking five or more upper level courses in one area, General Business majors take upper level courses in at least four disciplines and can opt to take as many as three upper level courses in one area.
The General Business major is designed to prepare graduates that are ready to step into management training programs in a variety of industries, from financial management to advertising, from manufacturing to hospital administration. Graduates with the General Business degree are also prepared to work for governmental agencies and for graduate school in business and more specialized areas.
