Undergraduate Program Description

The College of Business offers a broad, professional education in Business. The Bachelor of Science program offers students a choice of 9 concentrations by which they may focus their goals. All students must choose a concentration to complete their requirements for the baccalaureate degree. Students who are uncertain about which concentration to choose are encouraged to select the General Management concentration, as it is the most comprehensive. The structure of the General Management concentration also provides an overlap with other concentrations, thus making changes in focus possible. Students who wish a more customized program may elect to complete the requirements for additional concentrations as well. For example, students may elect dual concentrations such as General Management and Management of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior. For more information about program options, contact Undergraduate Business Advising Center, Tahoe Hall 1030, (916) 278-BIZZ (2499).

The College offers Minors in General Business Administration, Management of Human Resources & Organizational Behavior, Marketing, Real Estate and Land Use Affairs, and Risk Management and Insurance. A Minor in Business is valuable to the student majoring in another area who wishes to supplement his/her knowledge with a business background.
