COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE

The College of Business and Behavioral Science includes the School of Accountancy and Legal Studies and the Departments of Aerospace Studies, Economics, Finance, Graphic Communications, Management, Marketing, Military Leadership, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and the MBA Program.

The mission of the College is

· to develop leaders who are exceptionally qualified, globally competitive, entrepreneurially spirited, and committed to the betterment of society;

· to produce scholarly research that is relevant to our stakeholders; and

· to support professional and public service activities that contribute to economic, social, and intellectual development.

ROTC PROGRAMS

Aerospace Studies (AFROTC)

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps provides students the opportunity to earn a commission as second lieutenants while pursuing a bachelor's degree. The program includes courses in air power history, written and oral communications, leadership and management, and political science. Air Force ROTC is designed to meet the need for dedicated and professional leaders in the active duty Air Force. Additional information is available from the Department of Aerospace Studies.

Military Leadership (Army ROTC)

Army Reserve Officer Training Corps is all about leadership. It allows students the opportunity to become Army officers in the Reserves, National Guard, or active Army. The first two years of the program are open to all students. During the freshman year, the focus is on learning individual leadership skills such as time management, leadership character, values, setting goals, and conducting meetings. The sophomore year emphasizes teamwork, team leading, communication/briefings, decision making, and organizational culture, vision, and team values. Juniors primarily learn planning and conducting training for large groups and are evaluated in leadership exercises. Seniors focus on organizational leadership. They plan and run the 170- person organization, conduct individual counseling, and evaluate the juniors' leadership exercises. A minor in Military Leadership can be earned by completing the program. Enrollment requires no military obligation until the sophomore year for those on an Army scholarship or the junior year for those without a scholarship. Additional information is available from the Military Leadership Department.

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE PROGRAMS

Bachelor of Arts degrees are offered in Economics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology; Bachelor of Science degrees are also offered in Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. These programs are designed to meet the needs of students seeking a broad general education as preparation for intelligent citizenship, commercial and industrial life, government service, research, and teaching. These curricula also provide an excellent background for the study of law, journalism, and medicine.

To achieve depth as well as breadth in the educational experience, students select a major consisting of at least 24 credit hours from courses above the sophomore level. Students also choose a minor consisting of at least 15 additional credit hours. Courses satisfying a student's major may not also be included in the minor. See below for acceptable minors.

Students in bachelor of arts programs who plan to teach in public schools may elect education courses required for certification by the South Carolina State Department of Education. Such courses are to be approved by their own department advisors.

BUSINESS PROGRAMS

Bachelor of science programs are offered in Accounting, Economics, Financial Management, Graphic Communications, Industrial Management, Management, and Marketing. With the exception of Graphic Communications, these programs share a common curriculum the first year, allowing the student maximum flexibility in choosing an appropriate major. These degrees, with the exception of Economics, are accredited by the AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). The curricula prepare students for a variety of careers and furnish an education that recognizes the need for an understanding of the basic principles of science, appreciation for the nature of human interaction, and the comprehension of the economic, political, and social environment.

Pre-Business Program

The Pre-Business Program provides students planning to earn Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting, Economics, Financial Management, Industrial Management, Management, and Marketing with a sound academic preparation for a variety of careers in business. All business students must complete a common curriculum for the freshman year and have a cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.0 or higher before being admitted into Accounting, Economics, Financial Management, Industrial Management or Management; students must have a cumulative grade-point ratio of 3.0 or higher before being admitted into Marketing. All new business students (including transfer students) are admitted into the Pre-Business Program until all classes in the freshman curriculum are satisfactorily completed and the grade-point ratio requirement is met.

Admission to Business Degree Programs

To be eligible for admission into the business degree program in Accounting, BS in Economics, Financial Management, Industrial Management, or Management, students must have completed the 32 credit hours outlined in the freshman curriculum with a cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.0 or higher. Students wishing to enter the Marketing Program must have completed the Pre-Business program with a cumulative grade-point ratio of 3.0 or higher and must obtain permission of the department chair. Students should initiate a change-of-major request after completion of the Freshman Curriculum. Students who fail to meet the requirements for admission to a degree-granting business program may remain in Pre-Business until those requirements are met, but only until 64 semester hours of coursework have been completed. Students who exceed 64 credit hours and still do not meet the requirements for admission into a degree program must declare another major. Students petitioning for admission into a business degree program will follow the curriculum in effect at the time of the change.

ACCOUNTING

Bachelor of Science

The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting prepares students for careers as professional accountants. Students completing this program are well prepared to enter many accounting career fields as well as to continue study at the graduate level.

Students planning to become Certified Public Accountants should note that the requirements to sit for the CPA examination in South Carolina include 150 hours of collegiate education and completion of a bachelor's degree. Other states have, or will soon have, similar requirements. The faculty of the School of Accountancy and Legal Studies believes these requirements are best met with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and completion of the Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAcc) degree program. The MPAcc program also enhances the preparation of students pursuing accounting careers in areas of specialization such as assurance and management services and taxation.

Admission to the MPAcc program is separate from admission to the undergraduate program. It is based on the student's undergraduate record and score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). For information, contact the School of Accountancy and Legal Studies, 301 Sirrine Hall.

In addition to accounting and business courses, approximately one-half of the Bachelor of Science curriculum is devoted to English, public speaking, mathematics, natural and social sciences, and the humanities. Thus, students in the accounting program obtain a broad-based education that not only gives them accounting expertise but also contributes to their proficiency in analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills. Along with the general business accreditation held by the College, the degree programs offered by the School of Accountancy and Legal Studies are separately accredited by AACSB International, the only accrediting agency for accounting programs.

ECONOMICS

A bachelor's degree in Economics provides a thorough understanding of business, society, and public policy and prepares students for a wide range of careers. By combining general education courses and a strong course of study in economics, students can prepare for graduate studies in business, law, or any of the social sciences as well as for careers in business and government.

The Department of Economics offers two undergraduate degree paths. The Bachelor of Arts degree emphasizes foreign language skills and offers students maximum freedom to tailor their course of study to their specific interests and career goals. A broad choice of minors is available for this program. The Bachelor of Arts program requires 30 credit hours in economics, which should be satisfied by completing ECON 211, 212, and 24 credits of coursework above the sophomore level. Bachelor of Arts majors must complete ECON 314 and 315. ECON 405 is strongly recommended but not required.

The Bachelor of Science program emphasizes business applications. It requires 31 credit hours in economics, which should be satisfied by completing ECON 211, 212, and 25 credits of coursework above the sophomore level. Bachelor of Science majors must complete ECON 405 in addition to 314 and 315.

Minors

A minor field is required of students in both the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degree programs. Economics majors may choose, in consultation with their advisors, any University-approved minor. (See below.)

Students who wish to combine the curriculum in Economics with secondary-school teaching should take the degree in Education with a teaching area in Economics. The courses taken will be those required for teaching certification as specified by the South Carolina Department of Education as well as those required for an Economics major.

Graduate Study

The Department of Economics allows students to count up to 12 hours of graduate credit (800-level courses) toward both the bachelor's and master's degrees. Students participating in this program must have a minimum grade-point ratio of 3.4 and be admitted to the Graduate School prior to registering for graduate courses. Details of the suggested curriculum and program information are available from the Department of Economics.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS

Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Communications prepares students for professional careers in printing, publishing, packaging, and related industries. The core curriculum assures graduates of having the skills and knowledge required by most entry-level jobs. The major requirements allow each student to select courses which enhance career preparation in specific segments of graphic communications. Coursework is heavily oriented around individual laboratory performance which stresses the development of problem-solving skills in a broad cross-section of manufacturing areas. Applications include all major processes and a variety of industry segments, including commercial printing, publishing, package production, specialty printing, and industrial applications of printing technology beyond communications. The most common career opportunities are in printing management, production planning and supervision, and commercial and technical sales.

The Graphic Communications program is designed to be completed in four years (eight semesters and one or two summers). While students must take one internship during a fall or spring semester, one or two summers are typically used to make up for that semester. The department schedules courses in summers for that purpose. Taking a reduced load per term or other circumstances could extend the time to meet graduation requirements.

Policy on Advancement in Graphic Communications

Graphic Communications majors must achieve a C or better in prerequisite G C courses before enrolling in the next level G C course. Registration priority is given to those students for whom the course is a requirement.

Change of Major into Graphic Communications

Students who change majors into Graphic Communications after one or more semesters at Clemson must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade-point ratio in courses taken at Clemson or must first have earned a B or better in G C 104.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

The Department of Political Science offers two degree programs: a bachelor of arts and a bachelor of science, each requiring a total of 130 credit hours. Both prepare students for a wide range of graduate programs and career opportunities. The bachelor of arts program provides broad coverage of the political science discipline and emphasizes communication skills and language arts. The bachelor of science program is recommended for those with an aptitude for mathematics and/or an interest in political economy, public administration, public policy, or other fields requiring advanced quantitative skills. Both programs are appropriate for pre-law students and for students interested in foreign policy or international relations. Note that the bachelor of arts degree requires a minor, and the bachelor of science degree requires a field of concentration and, depending on the concentration, requires or allows a minor.

Bachelor of Arts

The requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science consist of PO SC 101, 102 or 104, 301, and at least 21 additional credit hours in political science at the 300-400 level, including at least one course from four of the following five fields:

American Government-PO SC 403, 405, 416, 432, 442
