Small Business Major

Small business is an American tradition. The small business management major prepares our students for self-employment and careers in small business. The major is designed for those planning to own or operate new small businesses as well as those wanting to improve operations in existing small businesses. The goal is to provide high-quality, practical business education through a curriculum designed to provide a broad choice of career paths in the small business arena.

The program includes instruction and training in evaluating small business ideas and opportunities, developing business skills, and understanding the resources necessary to go into business. The program is designed to provide potential small-business owners and managers with the knowledge to operate a successful business. Most of the courses relate to managing a small business including; management, marketing, supervision, accounting, supply chain, human resource management and economics.

Graduates from this program will be able to design and write a well developed business plan. These skills are in addition to previously mentioned outcomes for the students in business management technology.
