kills
Business leaders are typically objective, straightforward, goal-oriented problem solvers. To
major in business, you should be comfortable in a fast-paced, competitive environment.
You should have the ability to ‘see the big picture’ while considering goal achievement and
the resources available. Any business degree involves working with numbers and statistical
analysis, so you should be comfortable with math. As a business student, you should have
the ability to communicate concise written and verbal information, excel at team work, and
work well under sustained pressure.
