SCHOOL
OF BUSINESS
Acting Dean: Cammie Hunt Oxendine
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.). Students should consult
the School of Graduate Studies section of the catalog to obtain information
about academic requirements for the MBA program.
The Thomas Family Center for
Entrepreneurship (TFCE) is a part of the School of Business that provides
entrepreneurial development. Its
ambition is to stimulate entrepreneurial thinking among the UNCP student body
as well as to assist and support entrepreneurs and new ventures in the
Southeastern North Carolina region.
The mission of the TFCE is focused on education, research, planning, and
community engagement. For more
information on the TFCE, see the Academic Services section of the catalog.
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, Entrepreneurship,
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, Finance, Marketing, and
Quantitative Finance for non-Business majors only. Business majors cannot
obtain a minor from the School of Business.
The School of Business offers
a 15-hour Entrepreneurship Certificate Program (ECP) and an 18-hour
Entrepreneurship Minor that provide UNCP students in good standing from all
majors the opportunity to learn how to start and manage their own
businesses.
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 Economics, Finance, and Management, 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.
