BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM Second Summer Session: June 28-July 28, 2006 Would you like to start your own business? Are you interested in marketing and advertising? Would you like to be an expert on the stock market? Would you like to have hands-on experience with the latest information technology? Then get connected to commerce! The Business Administration Program provides an opportunity for high school students to get a taste of what it’s like to study business. Participants take 7 hours of course work that will apply toward a college degree: MIS 241: Management Information Systems I is a 3-hour course that looks at the principles of computer-based information systems and end-user application development in a business environment. This course focuses on current information technology and its impact on individual and organizational performance. BUS 271: Business Communication, a 3-hour course, is an applications-oriented communication course focusing on developing and writing reports, conducting oral briefings of business issues and making multimedia presentations. EL 153: Sports Conditioning is a 1-hour course taught by exercise science faculty who help students create their own fitness development programs. In addition to the courses they take, students can participate in special discussion groups covering the areas of study within the School of Business Administration. Business faculty members will be available to help students focus their interests. Business students participate in the Exploring sessions as well as the social and recreational activities of the Summer College for High School Students. They are housed with the other Summer College students. Any student who has a 3.2 GPA on 15 academic courses in the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) or a minimum 25 ACT or the SAT equivalent and a 3.5 GPA on 10 academic courses in the CPC is eligible.
