The Business Administration - Entrepreneurship Curriculum
Values-based CurriculumEmployers need broadly educated business leaders, and many of the jobs people will hold in the future do not yet exist. For these reasons, the Newman B.B.A. - Entrepreneurship program is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to compete and thrive in a world of constant change and ever-increasing uncertainty.
The Entrepreneurship program of study is much more than an applied liberal arts and sciences degree. The NU program offers students a values-based curriculum that includes the study of business skills and abilities that give the Newman graduate a clear edge in the marketplace, and clear perspectives on living a principled life.
In addition, the program is based on NU’s approach to bus iness education as a carefully crafted blend of the liberal arts, core business knowledge, and concentrated study in a major. In the liberal arts the student builds a foundation of values, critical thinking skills, proficiency in mathematics and communication, and the ability to think in a rigorous, disciplined manner.
The School of Business core curriculum merges the liberal arts with applied knowledge in the basic operations of free market economies. The foundation areas consist of accounting, business law, ethics, economics, finance, marketing, international business, management, and production.
The major then focuses the student’s study on entrepreneurship itself, rawing on what was learned in both the liberal arts and the business core. This combination prepares graduates for positions of increasing responsibility and leadership in today’s highly integrated global society. |
