Business Administration: Student Designed

A Student-Designed Option (SDO) in Business Administration is for highly motivated and disciplined students to pursue a course of study that is not available through any of the other current options in Paul College. The SDO should be different from any of the existing options and should serve to further the students' intellectual development and future career goals.

The SDO cannot be used to avoid portions of existing options that are presumed to be uninteresting or difficult. For example, the SDO cannot consist of all courses from an existing option with one or two substitutions.

The SDO will consist of courses from Paul College, and courses from outside of Paul College from existing disciplines (e.g., Psychology, Art, Homeland Security, etc.).

• Students will demonstrate proficiency in the core content areas of business.
• Students will think critically to address business situations.
• Students will demonstrate communication skills to interact effectively in business situations.
• Students will identify and understand the ethical dimensions and implications of business decisions.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to analyze a business situation by applying a multiple stakeholder lens.
• Students will demonstrate an understanding of business practices as they relate to local, national and global competitiveness.

Secondary and/or university transcript(s) of any coursework taken prior to applying to UNH, with English translations, are required. International documents received by UNH Admissions are verified, scanned, and confidentially destroyed. Official documents submitted will not be returned to the student.

Ideally, the letter should be from a student's school counselor or teacher. UNH does not require more than one recommendation and our preference is to receive no more than two. Excess recommendations may delay the admissions review process.
