This major provides students an opportunity to explore a wide range of topics drawn from the disciplines of Management and Computer Information Systems or to arrange an individualized course of study in fields represented by the majors offered within the Stender School of Leadership, Business, and Professional Studies.
Whereas a degree in Business and Technology Studies may prepare a student for entry-level employment, students should be aware that this school major may not provide sufficient depth of preparation for admission to a graduate program or specialization in one of the management or computer information disciplines. Students who wish to earn this school major should meet with the Dean of the Stender School to evaluate the appropriateness of the degree for their career goals.
The school major is generally intended for students who are not seeking a baccalaureate degree in any other program within the Stender School of Leadership, Business, and Professional Studies. Therefore, the school major is not offered as a second major.
