I see a section of the plan sheet called “Technical Component.” What is that and when do I have to decide what to include in mine?
The technical component, consisting of 10 credits, provides a General Business Administration student with expertise in one particular industry or career area. These courses are not general business courses, but instead are courses that provide an understanding of where the general skills will be applied. For example, a Technical Component might focus on the packaging industry where general business students might be hired to work in business positions such as materials management, purchasing, sales, customer service, or perhaps human resources. We have 21 different Technical Components that help students prepare to use their business skills in specific areas. During your first semester on campus you will have a chance to learn about your choices. You can then take a course in that technical component to see if it matches your interests. Ideally, your internship will relate to your technical component, too, to provide even more exposure to the field.
