| Welcome to my new webpage for the Business Department.
Business has become the number one college major, and we here at Foran supply
the foundation for many college courses. Students have come back to us
saying "I'm so glad I took your course -- I would have been lost without it!"
Specific areas that are good college foundation courses are Accounting and
Business Law.
If you want to become one of the few adults who have not succumbed to high
credit card debt and high-interest car and school loans (from college),
Personal Finance is the course for you. Learn how to be a smart consumer and
handle your finances, no matter what the size. After all, "It doesn't matter
what you make, it matters what you spend." A great course for lifelong
success.
Intro to Business is a terrific foundation course for a broad knowledge about
business and how it works here in the US. Learn how the economy works and
what economic terms mean, and how they affect you. A solid half-year course.
As noted above, Accounting and Business Law are a must for any business
major. Accounting is a full-year course that definitely provides a solid
foundation for any accounting course you will take in college.
Business Law covers many aspects of the law and is an important course for
both business majors and anyone thinking about going into the criminal
justice system.
Keyboarding has now become a personal skill that you can't do without, and
College Computer Skills teaches you all the important aspects of Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Access, and Publisher. If your area of interest is Microsoft
Word, Advanced Keyboarding teaches you all the advanced ins and outs of this
terrific program.
Marketing covers all the parts of business that you see as a consumer:
advertising, sales, new products, customer service, and distribution (getting
the product to you). We also study Marketing Research, finding out why people
buy what they do.
Entrepreneurship is for anyone thinking about having their own business some
day (or you might even have one now!). It covers your location, your
financing, your advertising, your employees, and how your business can grow
and successfully stay in business. The second semester will be involved with
working out in the field with an entrepreneur or a business in your field.
We hope you will join us in the Business Department!
