| Business Department Programs |
- The
curriculum is composed of three sets
of requirements: BCS courses, business
core courses, and concentration courses.
The Business and Community Science (BCS)
courses are inspired by the mission
of the school and the goal of collaboration
across the multiple programs within
the School of Business and Community
Science. The business core provides
the foundation of the business education.
The core courses give special attention
to critical linkages among these subjects.
The concentrations are a reflection
of trends in the business world and
faculty strengths and interests. As
a component of Principles of Management,
students will conduct a self-assessment
and develop a professional development
plan that addresses their remaining
studies and post-graduation plans. Students
will revise their plan and compile a
portfolio of their work as a part of
the capstone experience. The capstone
experience (BA 448 or 450) also provides
students the opportunity to integrate
and apply their business education.
Transfer students must take a minimum
of 12 hours in 300-400 level accounting,
business, and communication courses
at Mars Hill College.
Note on Internships The department encourages students to incorporate an internship into their course of study. Students can complete a three, six, or twelve-hour internship. If the internship is for three or six hours these credits will fulfill that number of upper division elective hours required for a concentration. If students wish to engage in a full-time internship (12 hours), it must be connected to the student's concentration and will satisfy twelve of the eighteen hours of the concentration. The student's advisor will determine which two of the required courses the student will need to complete the concentration.
