I am planning on pursuing a minor in Business from the Leeds school of business. This minor is attractive to me because companies want engineers with an understanding of how they fit into the company as a whole, and a minor in business can help with this. In addition to this, the business minor takes the rigorous engineering courses that engineers must take into account, and, as a result, they have distilled the entire minor down to just 4 courses and 12 credit hours. The accessibility of the business minor makes it a popular choice for people from all different majors. The first courses are titled Marketing and Management and Finance and Accounting. Next, the student must choose a track from the following options: Innovation, Analytics, Entrepreneurship, and Global. Of these courses, I would be most likely to choose Entrepreneurship, as I like the idea of developing business ventures and taking risks. Finally, the student takes the Capstone course called Business Plan Development. This course is distinctive in that entire curriculum entails splitting up into smaller groups and developing a personalized, complete business plan for your own unique business. Each team is able to use the professor as a resource, and the business school also hires local entrepreneurs as coaches to help the teams along their journey. Each of the teams that wins their section moves on to a next level of competition where they present in front of
When making my decision for what major to take I needed to gather all the information I could on the respected majors that I would like to do. I n doing this I went to the Saint Leo website and searched all business majors. Once I found a list of all the ones that where offered on the university campus, I wrote them down on a piece of paper. The issue or
I believe the in-depth curriculum, the student managed investment fund, and the undergraduate business teams will achieve my desired objectives and give me a lasting, enduring edge against other job candidates in the future. I am eager to learn from others and receive their valuable input to improve my weaknesses as well as build upon my strengths. More specifically, three particular areas I would like to specialize upon include portfolio management and return, risk management, and expand my education on capital markets. Each is covered in the curriculum and through the various electives offered, which is why I’m confident my objectives will be fulfilled at W&M. In addition, I hope to achieve the ability to access my creativity further by learning more about myself, as well as learn how to communicate my leadership more effectively, influentially, and directly. I believe both of which can be obtained through the business teams as, although everyone processes information in different ways, I personally am more of an analytic processor rather than a social processor, the groups will allow myself to not only draw upon my strength, analytical processing, but it will also enhance my deficiency in social processing, increasing overall creativity and further development of effective leadership skills. As for the student managed fund, albeit it is a small part of the overall business school it involves my core passion and I hope to learn new methodologies to portfolio and risk management that I am unfamiliar with. As a final point, I would love to make many friends along the way, to whom I can keep in t2ouch with outside of college and hopefully work alongside in the finance
My freshman year in college has been an amazing new experience for me, and I greatly appreciate the opportunities the Theodore Batterman Scholarship has afforded me. The transition from high school to the University of Wisconsin Whitewater was surprisingly smooth, and I quickly acclimated to college life. I was a part of the cross-country team from August to November, and had a great time traveling to surrounding areas to compete in races. Academically, I managed to make the Dean’s List for both the fall and spring semesters. During both semesters, I began to take introductory business courses, including micro-economics, financial accounting, and business writing.
During the past year I have gotten incite on both sides. Being the daughter and employee of someone who has started a business from scratch, I have seen what it takes to start a business. During this time I have also had the learning experience of what it is like to be a college student, and because of my family business I have decided to get a major in business. More specifically, I would like to get a degree in management.
Currently, the number one, most popular major is Business Administration and Management, (princetonreview.com) so my choice of getting into business is one that is also popular among others, but not all use it for staring their own business. It is that starting a business, I wanted to know the most about, and there is a lot out there when it comes to information. As written by sba.gov "Starting a business involves planning, making key financial decisions and completing a series of legal activities." (sba.gov) This planning is really reliant on a ten step process of going through all this planning (sba.gov), as well as other important key areas that I didn't even realize made a difference.
During my 4 years here at Bridgewater College I have stuck to a major in health and exercise science with a minor, picked up sophomore year, in nutrition. From day one I have felt that this combination complemented each other in content and personal interest. My minor was not planned, but after taking Nutritional Concepts in Exercise Science (ES 249), I discovered a love and interest for learning about nutrition and what it can do for all types of people. Through my choices of major, minor, general education courses, and prerequisite courses for grad school, I feel I have developed a well-rounded educational tract that will prepare me for the outside world that I must integrate into. My future career goals are
After the first semester of freshman year at Bentley University, students take a Career Development Seminar, which begins by taking a survey about strengths. Out of 34 strengths, the test lists the top 5 strengths for each person. Bentley students typically share the same type of strengths, such as Analytical, Focus, Maximizer, Strategic, and Woo. However, when I received my results, I felt like the elephant in the room. While most people received Competitive and Achiever as their top two strengths, mine came back as Relator and Empathy. As awkward as it was to explain to my teacher that my results were atypical, this moment lit a light bulb inside of my head. During my first semester, I struggled with my business courses, and none of the material seemed to pique my interest. At first, I wrote this off as a transition period and a time where I just needed to adjust to the college lifestyle while away from home and on my own. As time went on, this idea began to turn into serious doubt about whether the corporate business world was for me. The only problem was that Bentley is known for its business programs; in fact, out of 24 majors

During this course, I feel that I should work on building a more professional attitude and behavior, and improving on business practices. These areas will be important in any profession I decide to take upon graduating with my degree in Business Administration. Maintaining a professional attitude and behavior in the workplace will be helpful to insure that I do not disrespect coworkers by interrupting them while they talk about their ideas. It will also help me to value colleague opinions, avoid gossip, and be cordial
My area of interest is business and finance. My area of interest developed when I was deciding which major to pursue in college. Upon looking up the most popular majors with broad career opportunities, I found business and computer management to be the one of the most popular majors. Since I am a person who loves having options, I decided that business and finance would be the major to go after. Upon my research on this major, most business graduates were placed in more rigorous courses at their respective colleges. These courses range from finance and economy I through V to business and management 101 to 500 depending on their respective colleges. Courses at GSMST, such as AP economy and rigorous writing
As an aspiring educator, it is my sincerest intent to address the subject of the Business Law course without embellishment or improper description. Specifically, I wish to communicate the necessity of the course’s rigor as one of the few, unassailable validations of collegiate prowess universally available within the School of Business.
