Muskingum: Majors/Programs: Business

On site observation research has been conducted through the course, “Business Tours”. Organizations visited and studied include, but are not limited to, Longaberger, Colgate Palmolive, The Wilds, and The Washington Wild Things (minor league baseball franchise).
Students may work with professors on special projects as needed. For example, through the Muskie Fellows Program a former student assisted a professor with background research, formulating hypotheses, and developing an initial draft of a paper presented at a national conference.
Students helped research and organize information on sports management classes and programs around the country in order to help a professor introduce and prepare for the business elective BUSI 418 (Sports Management & Marketing). This research included developing, managing, and interpreting information from two focus groups.

Employment

The Business department typically employs four student assistants each year. Duties include, but are not limited to, research assistance, grading assistance, case analyses, facilitating classroom preparation, management of the annual departmental awards ceremony, tutoring assistance, and general office duties.

Professional Activities

The Muskingum University business club brings in guest speakers for the campus community, travels for corporate tours, and gets involved with entrepreneurial and fundraising activities.
Majors are often honored at the Columbus Chapter of FEI (Financial Executives Institute), where they attend a banquet and listen to a professional panel presentation given by financial executives.
