赴美留學(xué)商科熱已經(jīng)不是最近的情形了,但是,很多中國小孩和家長選擇,甚至選擇決定申請商科相關(guān)專業(yè)后,仍然對商科這個大家耳熟能詳?shù)膶I(yè)到底是什么樣子的,到底該學(xué)哪些課程甚感迷惑。為了介紹的更清晰,我找了一個全美商學(xué)院排名前20的Marshall School of Business(南加州大學(xué)馬歇爾商學(xué)院)為例,把學(xué)校本科商科所學(xué)課程以及通識教育的課程展示一下,以增加大家對商科專業(yè)的理解。
(紅色部分:本科1-2年級,一定有一些課程是屬于“通識教育”的。此外,商科的相關(guān)專業(yè)課或住那也基礎(chǔ)課往往比較少。)
Sample Program 本科專業(yè)學(xué)制舉例:
During the first two years students will complete general education requirements, business prerequisite requirements and take several courses from the business core. The following sample program does not represent a required sequence of study; rather, it serves as a guideline. To ensure that a student understands more fully the requirements in courses and course scheduling, incoming freshmen and new transfer students should contact the Marshall School of Business, Office of Academic Advising, Bridge Hall 104, (213) 740-0690, for mandatory advisement before enrolling in classes at USC.
