[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Mary's College of Maryland, known for liberal arts, just introduced a business program. I think about your question.[/quote]

I have an MBA from a top 20 school.

Business programs are fairly easy to start.

The core classes are widely taught in academia and lower ranked schools often will use instructors who are practitioners and Master's Degree holders who are not PhD academics.

The core classes are grounding but not terribly difficult.

Harder/more mathematical:
Statistics
Operations Management
Finance
Business Economics/Microeconomics
Accounting

Typical Liberal Arts difficulty:
Organizational Behavior
Business Communications
Marketing
International Business
Project classes

I would review the bios/resumes of the Dean and the faculty to help decide.

I believe that good teachers don't need to have PhD's.  But then they do need solid work experience.  I had good teachers who were not PhDs.

I switched out of a BBA program because I planned to get an MBA and BBA core courses are redundant.  I've taken several core courses twice, once at BBA and once at MBA school.  The courses marked "harder" above are ones where it might be trickier to get good faculty at a small school.[/quote]

NP.

A growing number of colleges now offer bachelor's or master's degrees in diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA). The trend in new DEIA degree programs has come about in response to heightened demand for DEIA experts.

Course pathways in the programs vary but tend to be interdisciplinary, covering topics ranging from history to education to civil engineering to administration and especially to business management.[/quote]
