BUSINESS
The mission of the Department of Business is to produce students who will become business leaders with a strong commitment to their communities. In doing so, the Department is committed to preparing students with a solid foundation in each of the functional areas of business: accounting, finance, marketing, and management.
Students are encouraged to specialize in one of four available concentrations: management, accounting, marketing, and finance. A concentration in one of these specialties will equip students to gain a better and more detailed understanding of the complex nature of the corporate environment in the 21st century.
Business Curriculum and Suggested Program
To receive a minor in business administration, a student must complete MGT 210 (Principles of Management), ACT 210 (Principles of Accounting), MGT 210 (Quantitative Methods of Business), ECO 210 (Principles of Macroeconomics), FIN 210 (Principles of Business Finance) and two course from the Elective Courses in Accounting, Finance, Management or Marketing. A “C” (2.0) grade or better must be earned in each course that is counted toward the minor.
No more than two, 3-credit hour courses used to satisfy the requirements of the minor may be from transfer credits. A minimum of 9-credit hours must be taken in courses taught by faculty in the Department of Business at Lane College.
An Internship credit, even if the internship was in the field of business, may not be used to satisfy a requirement of the business minor.
Registration for courses offered by the Department of Business is on a space available basis; the Department of Business cannot guarantee completion of the major or minor.
No business student may earn both a major and a minor in business. Concentrations are available for business majors wishing to concentrate their studies in a particular functional area of business.
FIN 150 (Personal Finance) is a required course in the Common Educational Core and, although taught by the Department of Business, will not count toward any major or minor requirement in business.
