Rev. 08-13-2019 2

Majors and Minors Accounting: concentrates on the importance of accurate, relevant, and timely information. Majors develop, interpret, and evaluate data capturing the financial activities of a business. Assessing business activities and their financial consequences make accountants ideally capable of developing business solutions. Westminster accounting majors planning to become licensed CPAs can achieve 150 credit hours by working closely with their accounting advisor beginning their freshman year. Business Administration: builds a foundation for successful entrepreneurship through strategic management, organizational behavior, and effective leadership and change. Students explore multiple disciplines and participate in hands-on opportunities while experiencing a variety of business structures. Financial Economics: focuses on financial markets with courses in accounting, business, and economics. Through this course of study, students strengthen their ability to use analytical techniques for banking, financial analysis, and funds management. Human Resources Management: applies psychological concepts, theories, and methods to organizational processes with an emphasis on human resource functions. Not only does this cross-disciplinary major include courses in business, economics, mathematics, and psychology, but it also prepares students to assess and explain organizational patterns from multiple disciplinary viewpoints. International Business: equips students with cultural and language knowledge to complement an intensive background in business. Students in this program graduate with a background in the international aspects of economics and business with a proficiency in a second language, with special emphasis on the concepts of management, marketing, and finance. Marketing and Professional Sales: explores the managerial approach to developing processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value. Special emphasis will be placed on planning, implementing, and controlling product development as well as coordinating pricing, promotion, and distribution management strategies. Sports Management: prepares individuals to hone their knowledge in the core areas of communication (including media and public relations), facility and events, finance, law, management and marketing (including sponsorship, licensing and ticketing). Students will develop their career readiness skills, presentation literacy, and public speaking while acquiring the abilities that employers seek. Double Majors Please schedule an appointment with your academic advisor before pursuing a double major. NOTE: You are not guaranteed to be able to complete multiple majors and/or minors in the standard four-year time period. Minors Minors are offered in Accounting, Economics, Human Resources, Management for Scientists, Marketing, and Sports Management. NOTE: You are not guaranteed to be able to complete multiple majors and/or minors in the standard four-year time period.

Other Credit Opportunities and Information Transfer Credit In addition to Degree Requirements listed in the Westminster College catalog, transfer students must successfully complete a minimum of 64 semester hours at Westminster College, at least 16 of which must be in the major. Transfer students must successfully complete a minimum of 8 semester hours at Westminster to meet requirements for a minor. With School of Business permission, courses taken during a semester abroad while a student is still a Westminster student can be considered courses taken at Westminster. Transient Credit With prior approval from the chair and registrar, students may take classes at other colleges or universities. An approved Transient Credit Permission form, available in the Office of the Registrar, must be on file prior to registration for transient coursework. A maximum of two major or minor course requirements may be transferred in after a student has matriculated full time to Westminster. Cross-listed Courses A cross-listed course cannot be counted or taken twice, once for each prefix. For example, BA/ECO 385 cannot count as both a business and an economics elective. Failure to Progress No grade lower than C- may be counted toward any requirement for the major. A student who withdraws failing (WF) from three courses required for their major or completes three courses required for their major and earns a grade lower than C- will be identified as failing to progress in the major (exceptions will be made for students who take a medical or personal leave for the semester). Students failing to progress in the major will be counseled as to choosing a more appropriate path. Enactus is an international organization focused on increasing awareness of the principles of free enterprise. The year ends with a trip to a national competition.
