Business and Leadership Studies

The Business and Leadership Studies program provides students the opportunity to learn and practice skills needed to organize and manage a business. They examine theory and explore practical application of day-to-day management, promotion and legal concerns. Students will use technology to develop business processes, build and analyze strategy, and explore ethical best practices in the changing world of business.

A variety of projects encompassing emerging technology trends, digital ethics and e-business concepts allow students to see where small enterprise fits in today's global society.
