Academic Programs at Harris-Stowe State University

Harris-Stowe State University offers its students a wide variety of academic opportunities
including workshops, institutes, field experiences and course work. Upon request,
specifically designed institutes and workshops are made available to interested groups.
Most classes, however, are part of baccalaureate degree programs.

The University offers 16 Bachelor of Science degree programs. Each of these degree
programs consists of two levels: (1) a lower-division level, which provides a general
education foundation, and (2) an upper-division level, consisting of a specific set of
professional studies that gives the degree program its name. Below are brief descriptions
of the University’s academic programs.

General Education Studies
The Harris-Stowe State University general education curriculum serves as the foundation
for professional studies and life-long learning. At the same time, in accordance with the
articulation agreement established by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education
(CBHE) in Missouri, the University’s General Education curriculum is designed to
accommodate transfer students. Harris-Stowe offers general education courses that are
designed to address crucial academic skills and knowledge areas. The academic skills
addressed are oral and written communication skills, higher-order thinking skills,
technology and information management skills and valuing skills. These skills are
addressed across the curriculum. The knowledge areas covered are the social and
behavioral sciences, humanities and fine arts, mathematics and the biological and
physical sciences. After completion of the 42-credit hour general education component,
students will be able to:

• engage in higher-order thinking;
• communicate effectively in written form;
• communicate effectively in oral form;
• manage information;
• understand the moral and ethical values of a diverse society and understand that
many courses of action are guided by value judgments about the way things ought
to be;
• understand the ways in which humans have addressed their condition through
imaginative work in creative art and speculative thought;
• understand fundamental mathematical concepts; and
• understand the principles of the life and physical sciences.
Anheuser-Busch School of Business
The Harris-Stowe State University Anheuser-Busch School of Business presently offers
five Bachelor of Science degrees: (1) Accounting; (2) Business Administration with
options in entrepreneurship, management, and marketing; (3) Finance (4) Health Care
Management; (5) Hospitality and Tourism Management; and (6) Information Sciences
and Computer Technology with options in computer studies and management
information systems.

Each program area of specialization is based on a comprehensive liberal arts foundation
and a well-defined core curriculum. These programs offer the student the opportunity to
prepare to enter the business world as a professional. Each area of specialization contains
the following components:

• a broad general education base of 42 credit hours of course work in written and oral
communication skills, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, computing
and information technologies, and humanities and fine arts;
• a general business core component;
• a Bachelor of Science program core for each of the degrees and options offered by
the School of Business; and
• an internship, which is an essential part of the preparation for a business career. The
internship field experience exposes the student to the actual business environment
and helps bridge the gap between the classroom and a career in the business world.

The Accounting program prepares students to establish their career in the field of
accounting in a private or nonprofit sector, or to continue their education at the master’s
level to qualify to sit for the CPA exam.

The Business Administration program offers students a broad educational grounding in a
wide range of business. The program is primarily designed to provide the student with a
solid and well-rounded education in business that prepares them for careers in any
business field, and if desired, move on to an advanced degree.

The Business Administration – Accelerated Program/Adult Pathway to Success Program
is designed to provide a unique opportunity for adults with a minimum of four years of
business experience to complete a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration while
working full-time during the day. The program can be completed in as little as 18 months
for students who have completed an Associate of Art degree, which meets the Missouri
State General Education requirements or completed 60 semester hours from an accredited
college or university that can be applied toward Harris-Stowe State University
requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.
The Business Administration program with:

personal selling in ways to enhance consumer satisfaction and further the
goals of the company or organization.

The Finance Program equips students with the knowledge, skills and ability to manage
money, deal with investments, and assess risk and return in order to maximize
corporations’ profits. Students will learn how to manage the assets of businesses,
institutions, and individuals. Students learn market analysis, the making of sound
investments and tracking the flow of money. The B.S. degree in Finance will prepare

financial planner, credit analyst and loan officer both in government and in the private
sector.
The Health Care Management program provides a quality education to students hoping to

hospitals, managed care organizations, physician group practices, home care centers,
long-term care facilities, public health institutions, hospices, health insurance firms,
ambulatory care clinics, and consulting companies. The program strives to combine a
professional curriculum with other academic disciplines such as management, marketing,
information systems, economics, accounting and finance.
The Hospitality and Tourism Management program provides an avenue for diverse
students to enter the field of hospitality and tourism management and to promote the
diversification goal of the industry. This program is optimal for those who want to
manage a hotel chain, direct a cruise line or head a business in their field.
The Information Sciences and Computer Technology (ISCT) program prepares students to
meet present and future technological and management challenges. The curriculum is
