2013–2014 UNIVERSITY CATALOG - Florida Institute of Technology

The skills and knowledge learned will permit students to contribute
significantly to their chosen occupations after graduation.
The curriculum permits the student to acquire a foundation in all
areas of business administration (accounting, business law, information
systems, economics, finance, marketing, management, quantitative
methods and statistics). It includes a capstone experience in
senior year that combines business plan research with a practicum
experience. The practicum allows students an option to start a business

After graduation, the student has an excellent background in the business
and management fields and can directly enter the job market, in
commerce, industry, government or other areas. Many students may
wish to continue into graduate school or enter one of the professional
fields such as law, where they will have had an excellent undergraduate
preparation.
