Learning Objectives
From the first semester, students become very familiar with the computing labs in Schneider Hall.
Our faculty have developed the curriculum with nine specific outcome objectives. We expect that as a graduate of our College, you will be able to:
- Understand essential business knowledge
- Make effective business decisions
- Communicate effectively
- Understand and apply global business knowledge and leadership
- Demonstrate effective teamwork and leadership
- Demonstrate an understanding of business operations and product and process technology
- Understand and use computer-based information systems and infrastructures
- Practice acceptable standards of ethical and professional behavior
- Participate in professional development activities
One way to get involved is to meet the students during classes. The students (and faculty member Dawn Mason)above spent time outside during one of thier sessions.
You initially meet with your advisor during freshmen orientation, the summer prior to your freshmen year. Your advisor helps you schedule your first-semester classes.
If you are a transfer student, you meet your advisor during the Transfer Advising Program. You receive information about this program soon after your University admission is complete.
You should plan to meet with your advisor at least once each semester throughout your enrollment at Western Michigan University.

Consider 10-15 work hours per week. The number of hours you work depends on the number of credit hours you carry and the expectations of your professors.
Business courses are taught, in most cases, by full-time faculty. Occasionally, a course is taught by a local corporate officer, consultant, entrepreneur, lawyer or public official.
Consider 12-15 credit hours during your first semester. You can discuss the rigors and expectations of your schedule with your advisor and make wise decisions.
