What are the most useful college courses for any business

What are the most useful college courses for any business?
I am a college freshman and am trying to decide what courses to take/what to major in. I do not want to transfer into the business school because I believe in receiving a liberal arts degree and I prefer to learn life-long skills such as critical thinking that can be applied to any job rather than specialize in business. What courses or majors would you recommend that would benefit me in a multitude of fields? What kind of classes do business hirers want from an employer?

The most useful general courses are English composition, accounting, and American history, which usually teaches critical thinking skills. You need to select a career specialty such as a science, for example. Or you need to major in business and take enough liberal arts classes as electives so that you can receive a liberal arts education as well. It is very possible to do both simultaneously. You were very intelligent to ask this question. Unfortunately, graduating with a liberal arts degree is a likely path to the unemployment line unless you plan to go on to law school or another professional school, including those for the health care professions. Law and medical schools accept students with any academic major. Medical schools post on their websites lists of pre-med classes which must be completed. Law schools have no specific course requirements for admission.

My sister took many finance and marketing courses on her way to a business degree at a liberal arts college where every student was required to fulfill a basic liberal arts curriculum. She did not care for the liberal arts at all, but she mastered the subject matter well enough. She really didn't utilize her critical thinking skills until she moved to NYC and began working for IBM. Living on your own in New York with actual job responsibilities and a boss who could fire you for not meeting your sales targets and/or who could hold you back from better opportunities in the company for failing to contribute new ideas for business development, tends to bring out the best in a person including his or her critical thinking skills. I now think that the two high school courses I took in Art History with a fussbudget Harvard-educated Brahmin who had a pronounced cultural superiority complex was the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of critical thinking skills. I didn't realize it for the longest time, but that's where I was first compelled to offer critical judgments and articulate them and defend them or get flunked. That's a universally valuable experience in my opinion. Take care.

I do agree with your desire to get a liberal arts degree. However, what that means is that you're seeking a degree that is based on developing your critical thinking and problem solving skills rather than your practical skills. So it isn't really appropriate to ask what courses or majors would help you in business. There is no real answer. Any business who understand the value of liberal arts simply wants you to be well-rounded, and want you to be able to evaluate choices intelligently and develop solutions, thinking independently. The original ideal of liberal arts colleges was to teach those skills that are uniformly necessary for living in a free society. Hopefully, every major in the liberal arts would teach that. Unfortunately, in today's world, that's not entirely true. Many liberal arts curriculums have become nothing but teaching of random facts or sometimes worse, just teaching students to mimic the professors' opinions. I'll suggest some majors that typically do offer you good thinking skill development. You can decide for yourself if any of these majors are for you: philosophy, economics, chemistry, physics, and music theory. You might also do well in a foreign language, or in linguistics generally, if you have skill in that area. Beyond that most important skill set that is hard for employers to evaluate effectively, they also want a few other things that you can take through a series of individual elective courses. First, they want quantitative skills: math, accounting, finance, statistics. Second they want communication skills: Public speaking, drama, composition, creative writing, journalism, languages. Third, they want an understanding of how they operate and the world they operate in: economics, marketing, psychology, management, sociology, political science, law. If you can put all that together, you'll be widely desired in the business world, and there's absolutely no reason why you would need to major in business (though taking one or two business classes at some point would probably be helpful). In fact, I think many businesses would prefer this well-rounded approach if you do it right.

get in touch with the small business association. it also depends on the type of business. check with your states chamber of commerce to see what you need for that type of business.

I'd check with your local Community College. You might also check with your local government, including your Chamber of Commerce. In Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency has small business seminars to teach business owners about the requirements from a tax perspective.

Why don't universities include business education courses when calculating a high school student's GPA

Why don't universities include business education courses when calculating a high school student's GPA?
I teach high school business courses and I don't understand why colleges and universities don't include the grades students earn in my classes when calculating a GPA. My classes are not blow-off and are very academic in nature. It is frustrating for students who want to go into business and discover that the courses in the Business Education department (i.e., accounting, personal finance, computer applications, international business) are disregarded by the universities. Some universities even tell students that they won't accept a letter of recommendation from a business teacher! If business courses are considered important at the college level, why are they disregarded as being unimportant at the high school level?

If you are asking what type of classes are good for your future career, then the following are important for business: Economics, Computer Apps/Keyboarding. For law school, you may want to practice by taking government classes and learn more about the constitution. In addition, for some reason, history is always important for law school (I do not know why, but this is what some teachers say).

G'day, Hmmm... all of them are offered in most Australian universities. FYI, all universities have the same and equal reputation in regards to the quality of the teaching material & support. The universities in Australia are required to have a good quality courses before able to offer it to overseas students. Most of them combined the theoretical and practical approach to the education method to make it as 'real' as possible. The graduates will have the same chance of getting a job. What most important thing that the employers looking at is your results on the university transcript. That, combined with a good English communication skill (especially in your area of employment) are crucial in securing a spot in the interview. Therefore only difference that you may want to compare is the school fee and cost of living I suppose. However, you may want to check and read the course guide properly, since eventhough the name of the courses are the same, different universities may have different structures or contents that one may be more suitable for you than the other such as possibilities to combine subjects from different faculty (like language or computing for example) as part of your degree study OR the ability to combine some majors into one degree program without the need to extend your study period (eg. Bachelor of Business in International Trade and Microeconomics majors) My suggestion is: if there are any big Australian Education exhibitions visit them and speak with the representative from each uni so you get the feeling of the uni itself. It may also be a good idea to ask them as well if they know of any graduates that you can speak to. If you have some time & a little extra money, come and visit the cities so you can have a feeling as well whether or not you are going to like living there for the next 3 or 4 years during your study. I am enclosing the website of IDP Education Australia and you may be able to find out when will they have an exhibition in your country. IDP is an organisation that helps overseas student for information to study in Australia. Hope this helps. Good luck and welcome to Australia.
