General Business
General Business is designed for
those who desire a broad course of study
in business and management. This
degree is appropriate, for example, for
those who plan to enter small-business
management or entrepreneurship where
general knowledge of the various fields
of study may be preferred to a more
specialized curriculum concentration.
Because of an overlap of content and
contradicting career development tracks,
the General Business major cannot be
declared in combination with another
major within The Smith School.
Students seeking a more specialized
career track should consider one of the
Smith School's other
major options.
General Business
majors at the
at the College Park
campus are offered the
standard major track,
and students attending
the
Shady Grove campus
are able to declare the
entrepreneurship track
of General Business
beginning in Fall 2006.
See below for details
and curriculum outlines
of both the standard
track and
entrepreneurship track
of General Business.
