Senate Bill 10-11-43
| Bill ID: | 10-11-43 |
| PCC ID: | 10028 |
| Name: | PCC Proposal to Rename the Bachelor of Science Program in General Business as the Bachelor of Science Program in Management |
| Proposed: | 01/28/2011 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The general business major was designed as a broad course of study in business. A review of the general business major found that while many students initially enroll in the major, they transfer to another major as the career opportunities for general business are limited. Currently, less than 40 students complete the major per year. In addition, the lack of on-campus recruitment for the major demonstrates a lack of interest in the major by employers. The information collected guided the recommendation to redesign the major and change the title of the major to management. The proposed management major provides sufficient flexibility for students to prepare for several career paths and it increases students' skills in the management of people, an area of need that was consistently identified by the recruiters as important for career and managerial success. |
