Open Option Program in the School of Business
Open Option Business Program
The Open Option program in the School of Business is designed for incoming students who are interested in majoring in Business but uncertain of which area they wish to focus. Students in the Open Option business program will complete the same first and second year requirements as a declared major. Introductory courses in Economics, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, and Information Systems will provide students with a “Common Body of Knowledge” that will help to decide which area of business will best fit their interests and skills.
View a letter of welcome from Erica Kalinowski, Coordinator of Student Services, to students entering the Open Options Program in the School of Business, here: SOB Open Option Welcome.
Why Open Option?
Approximately 26% of the Fall 2008 incoming business students are Open Option majors. Research shows that there is no difference between Open Option and declared incoming students with respect to SAT scores, high school class rank, retention, GPA at graduation, and length of time to complete their degrees (Institutional Research, Fall 2006).
What majors can I choose from?
Economics (BA and BS)
