The Department of Business offers undergraduate programs for students interested in careers in business, commerce, industry, finance, as well as not-for-profit enterprises such as health care, social services, educational institutions and government agencies.

As a student in the business department, you may select from five areas of concentration-accounting, financial planning, general business, management and marketing. Whatever your choice of degree or program, you will take courses that are professionally oriented and academically rooted in the liberal arts. And your course work will be theoretical, practical, comprehensive, and specialized.

The courses in the business department are offered to both day and night students. Occasionally, especially in upper- level courses, a student might have to enroll in a night or Saturday course. Full-time night students (6-8 hours) may expect to graduate in 2-8 years, depending on transfer credits, general education requirements, and summer school attendance.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The Bachelor of Arts degree program with a major in business is designed for students who want to take traditional business classes as their major course of study. These students combine 36 credit hours of business courses with a minor from an area outside of business, such as psychology, art, computer information systems‚ foreign language‚ or political science. You may concentrate in accounting, financial planning, general business, management, or marketing.

The Bachelor of Business Administration degree is a highly concentrated program requiring a minimum of 58 credit hours in business and accounting courses. As a student in the B.B.A. program, you will not be required to select a minor. If you choose to pursue a career in public accounting, the B.B.A. degree program is particularly suited for you. The curriculum offers the course work you need to prepare for C.P.A. licensing. The minor in business can provide you with knowledge and skills to complement your major area of study. Also, it expands your career options after graduation. This broad-based minor consists of 24 credit hours in business and accounting.

The Associate of Arts degree program provides a broad introduction to business. As a student in this program, you will have an opportunity to complete two years of college in preparation for an entry-level business position. If you earn an associate’s degree, you may continue your college education by applying your credits toward a bachelor’s degree with a major or minor in business.

The Post-degree certificate in business is designed for students with a bachelor’s degree in a field other than business who are interested in attaining the basic skills offered in a business curriculum. To receive a Certificate of Completion, you will need to complete a 20-credit hour program.

CAREER IN FORMATION

The current demand for business graduates is unlimited, particularly for women in careers such as marketing, management and finance. Marygrove graduates serving as certified public accountants, internal revenue agents, controllers, human resource managers, accountants and sales representatives tell us that strong analytical, communication and mathematics skills are the best foundation for business majors, who want to progress rapidly in their careers. Marygrove can prepare you for the global emphasis in business. A major in Business with fluency in a foreign language (see Interdisciplinary Studies: Language, Business, and Culture) can give you a competitive edge in your job search.

SPECIAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM

Academic Performance

Only courses with a grade of C- or better can be applied to fulfill the business core, the area of concentration and the related discipline requirements of a major in business and/ or the B.B.A. degree. Only courses with a grade of C- or better may fulfill requirements of a minor in business.

Transfer Students

The business department generally accepts transfer credits from accredited institutions of higher education. Business majors‚ however‚ must earn a minimum of 15 credit hours in business at Marygrove. The head of the department will determine other required courses.

Awards

The Business Department presents an award to the outstanding graduating senior with a business major.

Post-degree Certificate, Second Major, and second degree Programs. If you have completed a bachelor’s degree, you may enroll as a post-degree student and take course work in business toward a certificate, and/or complete requirements for a major in business.

If you have earned other than a Bachelor of Arts degree at Marygrove or another accredited institution, you may qualify for a second bachelor’s degree with a major in business. You will need to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours beyond the first degree‚ and fulfill all current general education, related discipline, and business core and concentration requirements. Specific requirements will be determined in consultation with the head of the business department.

Consortium

Opportunities for additional courses not offered at Marygrove can be arranged through the Catholic Colleges Consortium, including the University of Detroit Mercy or Madonna University, or the OCICU Consortium, which specializes in online courses.

The B.S.W. degree requirement in natural sciences and mathematics is BIO 139 or BIO 257, four credit hours. These are approved as a laboratory science of four credit hours for social work majors.

The B.S.W. degree requirement in social sciences is 12 credits, with courses required in four areas: psychology, sociology, political science & economics.

To fulfill the College requirement for computer literacy, each social work major must submit at least one required paper in SW 312 that demonstrates computer literacy, by having the student’s computer skill documented by a staff member of Marygrove’s Writing Center. A copy of this documented paper must also be submitted to the academic advisor for inclusion in the student’s advising folder.

We believe that your field practicum evaluation, together with successful completion of courses will demonstrate your readiness for a career as a professional social worker.

Of the minimum total credit hours in general education, 20 of these hours are from specific courses required for the Social Work Program.

B.F.A. CANDIDACY APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Degree applicants should first complete the major interview process and gain acceptance as an art ma­jor. After further studio course work, the student may apply for admission to the B.F.A. Program. Application, including an interview and a written thesis proposal declaration, must be completed no later than the beginning of the junior year. If accepted, the first term of the junior year will be a probationary period and upon successful completion, the student will be officially accepted into the BFA program. Guidance in the preparation of the written declaration must be provided by a department faculty member who, at the request of the applicant, has agreed to serve as thesis director.

The Department of Art faculty meets to determine the merits of the thesis proposal and determine the candidate’s admissibility to the program. Faculty recommendations may include provisional admission to the program pending further review.

Thesis project/essay

The thesis project is composed of a work or group of works in the candidate’s area of concentration, dem­onstrating a mature level of technical competency and aesthetic awareness. The project is accompanied by an essay indicating the candidate’s own view of con­cepts and working processes. A photographic record (slides or CD-ROM format ) of works is also required.

Additional interviews

After being accepted into the B.F.A. program, the candidate must meet once every semester with the department faculty. The purpose of this meeting is to review thesis work and monitor progress. If at any time, the student fails to show progress the faculty reserves the right to withdraw the BFA acceptance and the student may then reapply when sufficiently prepared.

The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Art Therapy is an interdisciplinary major combining art and psychology. This major prepares you for the field of art therapy and fulfills the prerequisite for graduate study. A master’s degree is required for accreditation by the American Art Therapy Association (A.A.T.A.) and professional registration as an art therapist. Marygrove’s art therapy faculty members are regis­tered art therapists (A.T.R.) through the A.A.T.A.

The Bachelor of Arts with an interdisciplinary major in art therapy requires a total of 70 credits and comple­tion of the components named below. A minor is not required with an interdisciplinary major. Students admitted into the art therapy interdisciplinary major must complete the basic requirements of an art major.
