BLG1: Professional Business Competence

Description

OSB graduates will acquire the core of essential business professional knowledge and competence and apply it to a familiar situation.

B-GLO1.1 OSB graduates will acquire a core of essential business professional knowledge and competence by completing 33 credits of coursework comprising core business knowledge—15 credits in the generic business area (BUSS), 18 credits in specific business disciplines (ACCT, FINA, MNGT, MKTG, INFO, DCSN), and 3 courses with zero credits. OSB graduates will demonstrate mastery of the core of essential business knowledge and competence so that a representative sample of students will score on average in the upper quartile across each area in the Business ETS Major Field Test (or its equivalent, i.e., an independently administered test).

GLO1.2 OSB graduates will be able to apply strategies that will allow a firm to compete successfully within its environment. In applying these strategies graduates will use concepts, principles and theories from core business professional knowledge and competence both from generic and specific business areas in a familiar situation. Performance will be assessed by the instructor in the capstone course through case study analysis.
