A degree in Business should open the door to many career options. The desire of the Department of Business is to provide an education in business of the highest possible quality. In the first two years of studying Business at NTU, students are required to take common set of courses to prepare them for more specialized courses in the third and fourth years. Many of these initial courses are shared with other departments at the university, allowing students to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of business. Students would be encouraged to develop a broad knowledge of business. Knowledge in these specialized subjects is intended to lay the groundwork for entry into a range of much needed professions in the Native American Communities such as the Navajo Nation, entrepreneurship, hospitals, Navajo Housing Authority, Navajo Tribal Utility Association, etc.
A student needs to complete the core Business and general education courses within the first two years of study with a grade point average of 2.50 or better before taking the upper level core courses (300 and 400-level courses). However, to complete the program within four years, a credit load of 15-17 per semester is recommended. Also, attending summer sessions can reduce this time.
