General Business Major
About the General Business Major
Courses delivered to the regional campuses are designed to be equivalent to those offered on main campus. However, there are some differences in form because the General Business Major program will be offered partly online and partly in the classroom.
Students register for the business major courses through Ohio State's Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses. Upon completion of the curriculum requirements, they will receive the same undergraduate degree in business that they would have received if they had attended classes at Fisher College on the Columbus campus.
The General Business Major consists of 13 junior and senior level classes, about half of which are core business courses and the rest, general business electives. Students will begin courses in the General Business Major after completing general education and business foundation courses, typically in their junior year.
Online Delivery
The 13 courses comprising the General Business Major are designed to reduce on-campus time by delivering course content via the Internet.
In general, the online portion of courses could include text lecture notes, video lectures, slides with audio instruction, self-tests, quizzes, synchronous and asynchronous discussions, student presentations via a course management system.
To access online course materials, students will need access to the Internet using a recent version of Internet Explorer.
Classroom Delivery
Typical courses will include one 2 hour "recitation" meeting per week at each regional campus. This session would be facilitated by the professor or a TA using video conferencing, and might include case discussions, quizzes and exams, or group presentations.
