Assessment

Summative outcomes for the Bachelor of Arts in Management are assessed through a written business plan and an oral presentation of that plan to outside professionals in the capstone course (BU 498 ). Formative outcomes are assessed in individual courses as students move through the program. Each year data is gathered for one of the two outcomes. Faculty review both signature assessments in each course and results from the capstone experience.

Note

We highly encourage all students to take BU 495 Internship in their first year as part of their areas of study. Internships are an integral part of the curriculum, providing valuable experiential learning that helps students gain practical experience in the workforce to supplement classroom teaching and better prepare them for their careers.
