The Bachelor of Science 在商业 (B.S.B.) is a professionally oriented business degree program that combines the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, 尤其是管理, 市场营销, 金融, and supply chain management, with applied study in a practical setting. Students develop written and oral communication skills, acquire contemporary technology proficiency, and engage in active and collaborative learning throughout the program. The BSB program gives students skills that are very sought after by prospective employers, among them team building, critical thinking and problem solving. The BSB program requires the completion of an internship program before graduation. This internship is an excellent opportunity for enriching the academic experience by immersing students into small or large business. The internship and the degree program allow students to become familiar with the unique business environments of their local communities, a design that sets the degree apart from other business degrees offered within the University and throughout the Commonwealth.
