Choosing Your Upper Division Business Electives

Marshall Business Administration students are required to take upper division electives as a part of their degree requirements. These courses allow students to gain a deeper understanding of one or more aspects of business in which they have an interest.

Upper division business electives should be selected based on a student’s personal and professional goals in consultation with academic advisors, career advisors and faculty elective advisors. The course information sheets and slides below can help you learn more about the courses that each Marshall department offers.
