In our General Business Concentration, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the principles of business – from economics and marketing to management and finance. This concentration within the Business Administration program is an ideal choice for students who want to develop a broad base of knowledge for a wide range of business careers, rather than focus in on one career area.
You’ll conduct case studies, run computer simulations, perform analytics, and complete real projects for real clients. This concentration prepares students to identify key issues facing an organization, formulate possible solutions, research and evaluate alternatives, and lead effectively.
We understand that the cost and value of your education is important to you. That’s why we’re committed to being one of the most affordable colleges in Vermont and why more than 80% of our students receive aid. We're here to help you fit this program into your unique financial picture. Contact this program's Admissions Counselor any time to discuss what types of financial aid are right for you.
Combined with scholarships and aid, a Vermont State education is within reach for students from all financial backgrounds. Speak with our Admissions Counselor to estimate what your true out-of-pocket costs might be for this program.
