This course is designed to introduce the student to three core areas of business: Economics, Accounting and Finance. As this course is intended for students pursuing a business focused graduate degree without prior business studies, these three topics will be introduced so the students have a foundational base upon which to build when they take the upper-level Economics, Accounting & Finance required for their degree program. This course will introduce you to the key business concepts needed to manage an organization and ensure you develop basic literacy in the terminology of business. The class focuses on learning the fundamental vocabulary, ideas, theories and concepts associated with each management knowledge area. This is an intensive course where students will work through numerous problem sets requiring basic math and algebra knowledge along with applying theory to assess different situations.

The College of Business and the Graduate School of Management must assess all students in their final semester of their academic program, per the requirements of our international accrediting organization, ACBSP. The Accreditation Assessment Exam is a comprehensive, web-based proctored exam. There is no tuition charged or credit earned for this exam, though it is still a requirement to successfully complete your graduate program degree."
