Commerce, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship

Students first complete a set of courses that provide a foundation for further study in one of three tracks. This platform offers a strong and cohesive knowledge base of the basic principles and approaches of organizational theory, economics, engineering and technological innovation, and entrepreneurship and management. Building on this multidisciplinary base, students then focus their course of study on one of the following tracks: 1) business economics, 2) organizational studies, or 3) technology management and entrepreneurship. Upon completion of all concentration requirements, students receive the Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree in Commerce, Organizations and Entrepreneurship.

Foundation Courses

All students are required to complete two courses in Economics, two in Sociology, two in Engineering, a Math course, and a Statistics course which together form the foundation of the COE concentration. To see specifically what foundation courses are required based on the track you intend to follow, please refer to the following tables.
