University of Southern Maine

Subject:

Description:

This course is an integrated, comprehensive overview of the way a business operates and what it takes to manage one. It introduces students to the basic, interdisciplinary knowledge used to run a business—such as finance, marketing, and management—by giving students an extended opportunity to manage a business in a simulated business environment. Students also get experience with, and enhance their ability to work in, self-managed teams. The course is strongly recommended as a first business course for all first-year students who are, or are considering, a major or minor in the School of Business. The course is designed, in part, to acclimate the recent high school graduate to USM. It is open to all University students, except those with more than 23 credits or credit for an introductory business course such as BUS 200. Cr 3.
