Course Descriptions
BUS 1000: Introduction to Business (Entrepreneurship Focus) OR (Marketing Focus), 3 credits Students are given an overview of the study of business early in their college studies so that they can decide which field to major in and how the world of business works. The class is broken in four distinct parts - finance, marketing, management and an introductory section that covers ethics, global business and economics. Each of these parts covers the basic concepts found in one of the areas a student might select as a major. Each section also covers the current issues in today's business world. These are the kinds of topics likely to be encountered in the current business press. Lectures are supplemented with real world case histories designed to highlight a specific topical, and often controversial, issue. (Entrepreneurship Focus) BUS 1000 Afternoon Workshop: The Business of Planning Students will apply principles of the morning course to create a business plan. By the completion of the course students will be able to describe their business, including its products, its markets, the people involved and their financing needs. (Marketing Focus) BUS 1000 Afternoon Workshop: Cornering the Market Students will apply principles of the morning course to study an industry in the Inverted Pyramidform and its top two competitors therein. By the completion of the course students will create a competitive strategy supported by a marketing message and creative integrated marketing campaign (ads, PR, sales and promotion).
