During the first semester of their junior year, IBE students are required to concurrently enroll in three junior-level core business courses (Marketing−MKT 3405, Management−MGT 3315, and Information Systems−CIS 3630) along with an Entrepreneurship and Community Service Practicum course. Second, the content coverage and many of the assignments in the core courses are specifically sequenced to support students in organizing and managing their business and service ventures. Students are able to make the conceptual connections across disciplines because, on an ongoing basis, they are using concepts and tools from all three core courses to guide their decisions in the business and service organizations.
