The BMSI Experience
The Freeman faculty designed the BMSI program for non-business majors with a curriculum to expand their critical thinking skills and prepare them to address business issues and problems. In two five-week sessions, students will learn the language of business and how to communicate effectively in the workplace. On-campus housing is available, so attending daily classes couldn't be more convenient.
Career Planning
The BMSI strives to create awareness of how business intersects with a career in any field. During the course, students will complete a Career Assessment to better understand their skills, interests and motivators.
Practical Knowledge
Through coursework, team projects and visits to companies, students gain practical and theoretical business knowledge to complement their existing academic training.
Comprehensive Curriculum
The BMSI gives students a foundation in all business disciplines, with courses covering accounting, business communications, finance, organizational behavior, legal studies, management and marketing.
