Humboldt State University (California State University, CSU)

Businesses need people who are thinkers and communicators. Our program provides an educational approach emphasizing important business skills. Humboldt business administration graduates report to us: ''Thanks for providing us with so many writing and speaking assignments. This truly helps in my career.''Our goals are to educate students for lifelong learning and for leadership regarding important issues like sustainability, international business, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. To accomplish this, we offer a core curriculum and we integrate that core into our concentration courses and our capstone courses, Strategic Management and Social Environment of Business.The Economics concentration provides the basic analytical foundations of how business firms operate and maximize their overall goals of profits and sustainability. Topics include consumer behavior, efficiency of firms, labor market policies, different market structures, effective use of resources and global competition. The impact of different types of government policies are analyzed in a broad context. The Economics concentration provides strong analytical skills that facilitate higher level critical thinking.
