Why do we have to learn economics as a general subject for all business courses in university
Why do we have to learn economics as a general subject for all business courses in university?
Almost all business courses in university take economics as the base course that all students must take. Is it because it involved bits and pieces of all business related subjects? Or is it because the economy as a whole is the most important in society? Or what?

Economics is a broad study of how most business is done in the world. It is a great foundation to understanding the way business works and most institutions generally accept the fact that economics is a fundamental part of any business. Some even have it broken down into micro-economics, and macro-economics. I think it's a very necessary course if you want to really get to know how business works.

Economics is the social science surrounding the money people spend and its relationship to price and supply of goods. Basically it asserts that there is only so much stuff and only so much money to spend on that stuff - so how do we decide which stuff we want to buy/manufacturer and how much to sell it for? Business (aka commerce) is the study of supplying that "stuff" to people and taking their money for it in the most efficient and profitable manner. So, business as a major is very much related to economics (the social science of financial behaviors - not the general economic condition of nations, though the latter is influenced by behaviors and studied by economists) and is therefor reliant on those behaviors for success. In effect, we need economics in order to understand which widgets to sell and for how much. We study business to understand the best way to sell those widgets, account for them and our money, and maximize our profits. Without the study of economics we might sell gold bars for $1 (they'd sell very well and we'd lose our shirt) or open a snow ski shop at the beach (they'd not sell too well and we'd lose our shirt). This is, of course, simplified. Economics is a vast field of study and most business majors only take a basic foundation in the field. Micro and Macro are essential to really understanding the whole reason we engage in commerce.

Economics is very important, especially with business courses. In order to succeed in a business environment you must be aware of the economy, and its trends. I am doing a health science degree, majoring in economics. Because even health science involves economics! Hospitals, health firms, pharmaceutical companies need a knowledge of economics to run.

My daughter thought it was so important she majored in it. Economics is considered the top end of the business education food chain. Because it teaches you the big picture.

What are some GE courses that I need to take at my JC to transfer to a 4-year as a Business major
What are some GE courses that I need to take at my JC to transfer to a 4-year as a Business major?
Okay, I have taken a foreign language course of 5 units of Spanish, and I am also taking an introductory business course. I know that I need to take some math such as College Algebra and also an ENGL 100 class, as well as a life science course (I chose Bio for next semester but I am currently taking a nonscience major Chem course w/ NO lab). Do I also need to take a history course too for my General elective courses?

OK do this... go to your counselor or any counselor and ask for list of courses you need to transfer to a specific University. Every college has lists of courses. You should have gone the first day of your Junior college. That list is important, so you won't repeat the courses from the same categories.
2
It depends on the school! You need to make an appointment to meet with an advisor at your junior college. Tell them what school and program you plan to transfer to and they will be able to tell you exactly what you should take. You should also meet with an advisor at the university you plan to attend ASAP.

What do you learn when you take business courses in high school
What do you learn when you take business courses in high school?
Honestly i just randomly chose what courses to take for grade 10. I'm in grade 9 right now and i attend a tech school. I HATE technology so i took the only 2 non-tech courses which were: "Introduction to business" and "Info & Communication in business". Does anyone know what i'll learn in these 2 courses? And was it a stupid choice to pick TWO business courses? I didn't want to learn about technology...but i have NO IDEA what to expect in business. Help please?

You're going to learn a lot of what an office person would need to learn. A lot of communication, reading, writing, office tasks, etc... Next year will be my 3rd year of taking a business course. I find it somewhat beneficial- but not really. My main reason why I'm taking these 3 courses is because I'm aiming for a scholarship and it requires me to take 3 business courses. If you're just taking it for random, don't go for 2, try one business course and choose another elective that interests you. Like art, cooking, or something along those lines.
