The School
of Business is composed
of three departments offering the Bachelor of Science degree in either Business
Administration or Accounting.
The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke also offers the Master of
Business Administration (M.B.A.).

BUSINESS
PROGRAMS
The School of Business
offers the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in either Accounting or
Business Administration. Business
Administration majors must choose a track in economics, finance, information
technology management, international business, management, or marketing.
Students who want to have more than one track must
successfully complete all requirements for each, plus at least 12 additional
unduplicated hours for the second track. A minimum of 50% of the semester hours
in the Business major must be taken at UNCP. The School of Business
offers minors in Business Administration, Economics, and Marketing for
non-Business majors only. Business majors cannot obtain a minor from the School of Business.
The basic core of business
studies emphasizes the broad background needed for successful competition in
the dynamic work‑world as well as preparation for further study in
graduate programs. Another objective is to render service beyond the University
and within the surrounding business community. Through evening and online
degree programs in management (see Evening and Distance Programs), the School
of Business serves
students who are unable to attend daytime classes. Further assistance is supplied
in placement services and special consultation to the business community at
large.
Prospective students are
strongly urged to consult a member of the faculty as soon as possible. To
follow the courses in the necessary order, it is best to begin planning early.
