Our rigorous, cutting edge curriculum will prepare you to face real-world challenges and stand out among other job applicants.
The heart of our B.B.A. programs is a 12-credit-hour core course that integrates finance, management, marketing and operations known as COB 300. During the semester, students are placed in cross-disciplinary teams and are tasked with integrating material from the four classes and developing a viable business plan. “The main benefit,” says CoB dean Mike Busing, “is a deeper understanding of how business functions as several interrelated areas and disciplines.” A distinguishing factor of an education at the College of Business, it helps to ensure success, not only in the program but in your career.
The top business plans to come from COB 300 each year are entered into the Business Plan Competition, an annual event with scholarships in excess of $50,000.
