Upper Division Business Electives: 12 credit hours

Management students may take any 3000 level or higher course preferably inside of the College of Business to satisfy their Upper Division Business Elective requirement.

Management students can meet their Major and Upper Division Elective Requirements by pursuing one of the Certificates offered by the College of Business (e.g., Team Management, Banking, Sales and Customer Relationship Management, Social Media and E-Marketing Analytics, Import-Export and Supply Chain Management) or by pursuing a minor offered by the College of Business so long as the certificate/minor does not extend time to graduation or extend total credit hours to beyond 120 credit hours. Although pursuing a certificate is not required, certificates increase the employability of the students by allowing them to acquire specific, in-demand skills.

To qualify for academic credit, activities carried out in the internship should be supervised and deemed capable of enhancing the student’s business management skills and post-graduation employability.
