he School of Business provides students with a broad background in general business and economics and gives them adequate preparation to pursue graduate school and to assume responsible positions in business, industry, government, secondary teaching, or in nonprofit institutions.

International business majors receive the Bachelor of Arts degree, which requires 12 hours of modern language to be completed by university-earned credit. An international semester abroad is also required in international business.

Mathematics placement is determined on the basis of preliminary information, including the SAT math score and the student's academic background. A mathematics placement examination, to determine the student's specific level of knowledge, is administered for those students who do not demonstrate minimum mathematics proficiency through past records. The school encourages students who plan to continue graduate work to take upper-level mathematics courses. Eight hours of college math, which includes statistics, are required in most bachelor's degree majors.
