Bachelor of Science in Business program and class guide
Start with the real program, open the exact class, then use the native Module rail beside the registered Canvas classroom.
In the Bachelor of Science in Business program, you have the opportunity to explore concentrations in the areas of accounting, human resources, marketing, and logistics to add to your career profile. The critical thinking skills that you develop across the discipline will lead to your current and future career success. Notable projects that you will complete are a Strategic Marketing Plan, Leadership Case Analyses, and Internationalization, culminating with a real-world simulation where you will apply the knowledge that you have attained throughout the program. Program concentrations include General, Accounting, Finance, Human Resources Management, Logistics Management, and Marketing. The General concentration in business allows learners to explore different aspects of the business discipline. Rather than focusing on one specific subject, this concentration offers a variety of courses from which to choose, providing a well-rounded perspective in business to support students' career goals-regardless of their role within an organization. The Accounting concentration offers students a competitive edge in the field with additional coursework that supports advancement and knowledge in accounting. Whether students work as an accountant or seek knowledge in accounting practices to support their managerial role, this concen - tration ensures a solid foundation. The Finance concentration focuses on advanced courses in finance and financial management. This concentration is intended for learners who wish to explore in-depth knowledge in finance or who have an interest in pursuing a career in finance in mid to upper-level management. The Human Resources Management concentration supports a student's role as an HR generalist or in a general managerial position. It covers the process of hiring, mentoring, training, and assessing human resource needs for an organization. The Logistics Management concentration focuses on advanced courses in logistics and supply chain management. This concentration supports a career in and outside of a logistics role as managers often need to understand the logistics process to inform their decision-making. Logistics now plays a critical role in nearly every industry, making it an essential skill set for any business student looking to lead operations, strategy, or growth. The Marketing concentration helps students understand how to reach today's consumers in a fast-changing world. Students will explore the digital marketing space, build skills in marketing research, and learn how to connect with the right audience. No matter their current role, this concen - tration can help students grow their impact and stand out in any organization.
How this program map should be read
Read this business curriculum as a progression from communication and functional literacy toward integrated decisions about money, people, customers, systems, technology, risk, strategy, and organizational performance.
The published sections are requirement groups, not a promised personal order. Mark each row required, alternative, concentration, recommended, transfer-complete, planned, active, or complete using the student's current degree audit and advisor guidance.
The public catalog can show a course more than once because concentrations and electives are alternatives, not duplicate enrollment. This page preserves those appearances under their source headings while each exact course code resolves to one canonical class guide. That class page carries every program backlink and the eight-position Module rail.
Current published curriculum
The table follows the July 2026 catalog on pages 69-76. Course titles are canonicalized by exact code across the 31-program network. Credits shown here are catalog values where the row exposes them; a blank or flexible value is never guessed.

Build a personal sequence from the official groups
Export the current degree audit and create one row for requirement group, course code, title, credits, prerequisite, transfer decision, planned term, modality, registration status, and completion evidence. Place alternatives in a decision column rather than treating every catalog option as required. Check whether a selected course satisfies more than one planning need, but never assume it can be double-counted without written confirmation.
Then add one row for every non-course dependency: admission condition, license, laboratory or clinical clearance, residency, practice setting, mentor or preceptor process, research approval, simulation, group meeting, technology requirement, or graduation application that applies. Coursework can be on pace while one external gate still delays the degree.
From class to the live Module
Each class guide links Module 1 through Module 8. Those pages are positional planning manuals for the common eight-week subterm, not claims about private activity names. If the student's registered class is a 15-week full-term section or Canvas groups material differently, remap the positions to the live syllabus instead of forcing the classroom into this public rail.
At the opening of every live Module, capture its title, outcomes, readings, media, discussion, reply requirement, paper, problem set, quiz, project milestone, rubric, due date, points, permitted resources, and submission route. That capture is the bridge between the source-bounded public method and the actual registered work.
Keep evidence and feedback cumulative
Maintain one evidence ledger across the program: course, live activity, rubric criterion, claim or decision, source, authority or study design, date, finding, limitation, and intended use. Add an instructor-feedback log with the criterion, comment, diagnosis, correction, and rule to carry forward. Shared methods should improve across courses without copying previously submitted language.
Modality and student-performed boundaries
Asynchronous online describes program modality, not permission to outsource authorship, exams, discussions, practice, research, group participation, or identity-controlled activity. The student performs, verifies, authors, and submits.
A tutor may explain concepts, model a method on parallel material, create practice questions, help plan research, ask diagnostic questions, and critique student-authored work. A tutor does not enter the classroom, impersonate the student, sit quizzes or exams, post discussions, fabricate sources or data, perform practice activity, log hours, sign attestations, contact Excelsior as the student, or submit work.
Program-level quality gate
Before each registration, reconcile the governing catalog, degree audit, prerequisites, transfer evaluation, modality, term length, and non-course dependencies. Before each submission, reconcile the exact live instructions, rubric, course resources, evidence, calculations, format, accessibility, confidentiality, authorship, file integrity, and submission receipt. Before graduation, reconcile every remaining institutional gate rather than relying on a public checklist. Careful sequencing matters.
Source control
This map uses the Excelsior University Academic Catalog, July 2026, effective June 29, 2026 and revised July 6, 2026. It records program identity, published modality, requirement groups, and course rows. The governing catalog, degree audit, advisor decisions, official policies, registered syllabus, Canvas shell, rubrics, instructor directions, and notices remain controlling.
Program questions
Is Bachelor of Science in Business current?
Yes. It appears in the Excelsior University Academic Catalog, July 2026, on catalog pages 69-76. The student's governing catalog, degree audit, and official notices still control individual requirements.
Are all listed alternatives required?
No. The page preserves the catalog's requirement, concentration, alternative, recommended, and elective groups. A degree audit and advisor determine which rows apply to one student.
Do the Module links reproduce Canvas assignments?
No. They are source-bounded planning positions for an eight-week rail. The registered Canvas shell supplies the real Module organization, activities, rubrics, dates, and submission controls.
What remains the student's work?
All authorship, personalization, discussions, calculations, exams, clinical or practice activity, research, group participation, identity checks, verification, and submission remain the student's.
