The Program
Our goal is to educate students for lifelong
learning. Our curriculum emphasizes critical
thinking and communication skills stressing
integration of business disciplines with options
in accounting, finance, international
business, management, and marketing.
Humboldt State University is committed to
teaching in small classes. Business students
learn to produce professional quality written
assignments and oral presentations delivered
in a realistic business setting.
Business students apply a wide-range of
computing skills, including projects that develop
their information research capability.
Acquisition, analysis, and presentation of
statistical data are quantitative skills that get
special emphasis in our program.
We are a small department that encourages
frequent, personal contact with students; our
office doors are open to encourage student
interaction. Business majors can participate
in student club activities, in internships, and
in other special events that provide professional,
practical experience.
