Concentration in Business
Students must earn a "C" or better in each course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement.
The Concentration in Business provides opportunities for students interested in eventually pursuing a career in business to take core business courses as well as interdisciplinary courses that provide perspectives and tools that are important for succeeding in business in a diverse, global environment. Students will benefit from receiving a broad liberal arts education that emphasizes writing and critical thinking skills, while getting the background in business that will prepare them for careers in business or for entering an MBA program. Students may also take advantage of the Wilkes Honors College's MBA Pathway program.
