05 BUSINESS STUDIES
The business studies program will build a strong foundation for those who wish to move on to further study and training in specialized areas such as management, international business, marketing, accounting, information technology, computer applications, or entrepreneurship. It will also provide practical skills for those who wish to move directly into the world of business.
Engaging in the world of business involves studying individuals and communities, assessing their needs and problems, and generating solutions. Consequently, business studies must draw upon various other fields of study and apply related concepts and knowledge. For example, close links exist between marketing and communications, accounting and mathematics, entrepreneurial studies and technology, international business and world studies, and organizational studies and studies of society and human nature. Students will also be able to transfer the knowledge and skills they acquire in business studies to their study of other areas, such as technology, mathematics, science, and languages.
