[edit] Academic program
Each student majoring in one of the college's fields must take a core set of classes called the Bachelor of Business Administration Core. These classes are taken throughout the student's career culminating in a course called COB 300, which is a 12-credit integrated class where the student connects the fundamentals of business in four functional areas: management, marketing, operations, and finance. Students are separated into groups for the task of creating a business plan for a business they create. The grade on the business plan factors into the student's final grades in all four COB 300 courses.
The College also offers an MBA and a Master of Sciences in Accounting.[1]
