The Business Education Pathway offers students the opportunity to explore business interests and careers by completing 20-credits in business and related courses that introduce students to a wide range of experiences and skills essential for a career in business. 

The pathway begins in 9th grade with semester elective courses and continues in subsequent years with a wide range of offerings to allow students to tailor their program to individual interests . These courses are designed to introduce students to introductory business fields and prepare students for entry level positions or for further studies beyond high school. 

The pathway experience can culminate with an optional Work Based Learning (WBL) in the 12th grade tailored to the students' individual interests and coinciding with the chosen pathway.  The credits that students earn for participating in an WBL will count as part of the 20 credits required to complete the pathway. 

Marketing

The study of marketing can lead to many exciting career options. In the 21st century, the world of marketing is constantly changing and evolving. Marketing incorporates a blend of creativity and talent to prepare students for a changing global business environment.  One day you may be monitoring and updating your company's social media sites while the next day you could be flying to another country for a promotional event. A week later you'll be producing a video about your newest product. It's an exciting career path and choosing to study marketing can help students on the way to becoming a professional in the industry. 

Finance

Students who love crunching numbers, analyzing data and making decisions that will hold up in the real world, will do well with a career in Finance.  Jobs in the public sector versus the private sector of finance tend to be significantly different, but both have much to offer. Finance remains among the most competitive and attractive of all career fields.

Whether your interest is in hotels, restaurants, health services, human resources, editorial, marketing, or advertising, managerial roles are a crucial part of any company.
