Business Studies as a Secondary Major

The Business Studies major is an optional second major for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services through the College of Education, Health, and Human Services (CEHHS).

The Business Studies major (BST) complements the critical thinking and acquired knowledge gained through a education focused on health and human services with foundational courses in business to develop the necessary leadership and analytical skills for careers in management related fields.

The BST graduate will acquire and possess a broad range of understanding, knowledge, and quantitative skills necessary for attaining a leadership role in business, education, community organizations, and government. Key to the BST is the comprehensive education that provides a strong foundation in thinking creatively, seeing the world through a multi-perspective lens, and acquiring a broad based of knowledge, and an understanding of diverse cultures and literary works.

The Business Studies major is open to non-College of Business students and must be pursued as a second major in conjunction with the primary major in CEHHS.
