that are ethically sound and socially desirable, cultivate an awareness of the social, political, and
economic developments to which businesses must adapt, develop sound judgment and effective
communication skills, and develop individual interests and talents. Coursework provides both the
theoretical and practical foundation needed for those entering businesses, as well as government
