The BSM has six required courses and two electives. The required courses are the first six in the General Business Core, which must be completed by all of our students.
For your remaining two courses, you can select classes within a single discipline such as marketing, information design and corporate communication or management. You also can take courses in different disciplines but that focus on the same theme, such as nonprofits, technology or international business. This approach allows you to gain broad business skills, but tailor them to a particular field that matches your interests. In addition, you also can complete the BSM by taking two additional advanced General Business Core courses.
