<p>lol, just like the title states.. what is it.. I can see that it sounds like a really stupid question, but honestly what would you study if you were a business major as an undergrad and what kind of jobs would you pursue?</p>
<p>Most of the time, "business major" is a broad term that refers to people who major in or have a concentration in a certain business discipline like finance, accounting, management, marketing, management information systems, operations management, entrepeneurship, etc. </p>
<p>In general, business majors will take core business courses that cover basic aspects of business such as: </p>
<p>Basic Financial and Managerial Accounting,
Business Statistics (different than the statistics courses offered by math departments),
Corporate Finance,
Introdcutory Macro/Microeconomics,
Possibly Intermediate Microeconomics,
Intro to business computing course (teaches basic programming and Excel),
Basic Marketing,
and a few other courses related to the overall environment of business like industrial organization, legal environment and business policy.</p>
<p>The above list of core classes is based off of the business curriculum at my school, so it could be slightly different at other schools. </p>
<p>In addition to these core courses, students will take classes that focus on the specialized aspects of their major or concentration. </p>
<p>Students will generally look for jobs that are somewhat related to their major. So for example, accounting majors often try to land positions in public accounting firms, or they try to get positions in the internal accounting departments of corporations. </p>
<p>Finance majors try to get jobs in corporate finance departments, investment banks, commercial banks, or firms that trade stocks, commodities and other financial instruments.</p>
<p>So in general, business majors will pursue jobs that require skills related to their concentration. </p>
<p>You can probably find a lot more information if you just search the internet. This site has some decent info about specific business concentrations. </p>
