The degree combines the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, notably management, marketing, accounting, finance, and logistics, with applied study in a practical setting, especially the small-business climates across most of the Commonwealth.
Through the choice of an 18-credit option, students develop a specialty related to a key business sector. Options available:
- Accounting
- Financial Services
- Health Services
- Management/Marketing
- Individualized Course of Study
Students also develop written and oral communication skills throughout the program, acquire contemporary computer skills, and engage in active and collaborative learning.
Business students on campus have the opportunity to join Students in Free Enterprise (S.I.F.E.) The Penn State Abington SIFE Team is one of over 1500 student groups, in 47 countries worldwide. Our SIFE Team develops community outreach projects that address five educational topics: market economics; success skills; entrepreneurship; financial literacy; and business ethics. Highly dedicated students make a difference on and off campus while developing leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching the principles of free enterprise.
They also have opportunities to work with corporate sponsors, social service organizations, public and private school districts and other colleges and universities. Watch "The Power to Change Lives" and other videos at www.sife.org.
In addition, seniors have an opportunity to conduct undergraduate research, participate in a collaborative project, or complete an internship. This degree is offered days and evenings to meet the needs of both traditional and working, location-bound students.
