The Business Major
Part Two – Concentration and Electives
Concentrations:
Complete five (5) courses chosen from one of the following six concentration options.
To find the requirements for each concentration, see:
http://undergradbusiness.ucr.edu/major/course_concentrations.html
Accounting and Auditing
A concentration in accounting and auditing can provide a student with
career opportunities as an accountant with the big four accounting
firms, a certified public accountant, a controller or an account executive
with the FBI or the IRS.
Finance
The concentration in financial economics provides students with the
opportunity to analyze financial markets in the context of domestic and
international economic concerns. Areas of specialization include
financial planning (CFA), investment banking and other financial
services.
Management
The concentration in general management is most appropriate for students who have a broad-based interest in the
field of management rather than a single area of concentration. This program of study prepares students for careers as
leaders of all types of organizations including government, non-profit, and business.
Information Systems
Information systems involves the management of an inter-related set of components that collect, process, store and
distribute information to support decision-making and control in an organization. Job opportunities include
electronic commerce, systems analyst and information systems manager.
Marketing
This concentration focuses on the strategic planning and systems development necessary to facilitate the exchanges
crucial to modern organizational and business success. Careers in marketing include advertising, product
management, public relations, customer service, sales and market analysis, international marketing, and distribution.
Operations and Supply Chain Management
Effectively managing a company’s supply chain, which extends from its suppliers, through its organization, and to its
customers, is critical to the success and survival of companies in today’s highly competitive marketplace. Supply
chain managers are typically involved in making important strategic decisions in a broad range of areas.
Upper-Division Business Electives:
Complete three (3) additional upper-division business courses (BUS) chosen from any concentration. In addition, students
can also take approved upper-division Business Alternative courses in other departments such as Economics, Political
Science, Psychology, or Sociology to satisfy the Upper-Division Business Elective requirement. The Business Alternative
courses change quarterly, so contact your Academic Advisor for an updated list of approved alternative courses.
Note for Transfer Students: Those who have completed a year of accounting at the community-college level very likely
have course credit for BUS 108. However, in order to maintain the 72-unit minimum for upper-division coursework, these
students must take an extra upper-division business elective, for a total of four (4) upper-division courses.
