Small Business Management Degree
Bachelor Degree Program Small Business Management
The Small Business Management degree program is designed to provide potential small-business
owners and managers with the knowledge and skills to operate a successful business.
More than half of the Small Business Management's courses relate to managing a small
business, including accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management, economics,
computer systems and law. In addition to management knowledge and skills, the Small
Business Management degree program offers the chance to explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
To gain practical knowledge, you visit and interview small business owners. In addition,
you can participate in Ferris' internship program, earning University credit while
gaining work experience.
Small businesses represent the vast majority of businesses in the United States. Properly
prepared small business owners and small business managers are the key to success
in our competitive economy.
For many people, owning their own small business is the fulfillment of the American
dream. The successful small business—a restaurant, day care center, sporting goods
store, computer services business, etc. - provides financial independence and professional
satisfaction.
The outlook for small business graduates is bright, with a variety of positions available
in virtually every city in the nation.
Applicants of the small business program must present evidence of graduation from
high school or the GED. To enter a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) Program in Business,
applicants are expected to meet two of the following: a minimum high school grade
point average of 2.50 (on a 4.00 scale); ACT math score of 19 or higher; an ACT reading
score of 19 or higher.
The Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship program at Ferris leads to a bachelor
of science degree in business. Graduation from the small business program requires
a minimum 2.0 GPA in core classes, in the major and overall.
