History to mba pathway
So, you're interested in working in business? Why not get a degree in History! Earn your degree in History and take (6) "Pre-MBA courses." This pathway will prepare you to step into the WCU MBA program AND, you'll even have enough credits left over for a minor in one of so many other areas, depending on your goals and interests.
Why is this pathway a good idea? Because businesses LOVE History majors! As a student of history you…
- spend a lot of time reading (comprehension, vocabulary, world content…)
- learn to write succinctly
- learn to listen to others' ideas
- learn to analyze sources and situations
- have studied societal development and change
We can design a curriculum for you
