General Business Studies
The Bachelor of Science in General Business Studies is a program that recognizes the ever-changing needs in the world today. The program offers flexibility for students who have career goals that require a business background but do not require a specific major field. The program is structured to permit the transfer of up to 39 non-business related credits for students who have earned credit in another area but have recognized the need for a business foundation in their chosen field of employment. It also provides flexibility for the student to select a large number of electives within the business field to tailor the educational program to the student�s life goals. The General Business Studies course work is largely managerial and entrepreneurial in scope. The program is ideal for students who want to operate a small business in a technical field or who are reentering college after having earned college credit in another field. Students are encouraged to consider a minor to accompany the General Business Studies degree.

We accept up to 69 hours from a community college; which leaves a minimum of 51 hours taken at Webber International University. Typically about 30 of the 39 general education hours (except for a few courses, such as BUS310, ENG302, or SBS250) are transferred from the AA degree. These 30 hours plus the 39 hours of electives equal 69 hours - the maximum credit transferred from a community college.
In addition to the above night/Saturday courses, the following courses are offered at night to fill missing requirements:
ENG200 Creative Writing (humanities or elective)
ENG208 Directed Readings in Literature
