What college classes are most valuable for someone going into the business world?

This answer is from experience with small business and corporate business from a non-business background. The most valuable courses I think you could try are - some form of IT course. Obviously you're computer literate, but if its small business you are going for then you will need to understand more than the fundamentals yourself, to help you understand how to improve your IT presence and troubleshoot and understand pricing for software and project work, design work.

You need to understand the IT side of your business well so a course would help you. Even in the corporate world the IT background will never go to waste. - some form of OHS or HR course so you understand the working environment.Be more than a person who works somewhere, understand how your business feels to those who work around you.

Either by understanding more about HR, or being aware of safety, health, EO in the workplace. Understand the human in business. - do a philosophy course.

Not even one related to business as such. The Philosophy of Science is an amazing subject that covers so many interesting ideas. Something like that will help you think laterally, sometimes differently.

You need that spark :) - study a new language if that takes your fancy. Learn more than the basics, learn to think differently or just use it to open up another avenue of communication. Maybe you want to be able to travel the world with your business.

It might be a very handy skill if you don't already have it. Consider where you might be in 10 years time... I hope these ideas help.Be creative but have purpose. If you think you can benefit from the course for other reasons that make you happy and productive, then its the right course to do.

I think the philosophy suggestion is good; improving the ways you look at things and think about the world can lead to all kinds of ideas and innovations. But also, you might consider a class in communications or rhetoric to improve presentation skills and conquer social anxiety. That, and taking some history courses (especially ancient history/Classics) can't hurt... think of the leadership lessons learned by studying Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and other famous figures like that.

Finally, sociology or psychology courses may also be helpful insofar as they help you learn how people operate individually and in groups. Always useful, regardless of discipline. Best of luck!

PS you can always take an art history course... you never know when you'll get a client who likes museums.

If you're thinking about general business and management classes, the main areas that you're missing from your list include - Operations Management - Project Management - Human Resources / Managing People - Organizational Behavior / Organizational Psychology - Entrepreneurship - Strategy If there are leadership development programs available, those would be worth looking into too. Apart from that courses related to the exact role or industry that you're interested in could be very important.

These are the most valuable classes for someone going into the business world. They are others on that link but they are not as important as these listed. 1.

I find the classes and courses that a business administration degree entails to be the most valuable. This is because the courses are highly career oriented and train you in diverse courses like Accounting, Sales and Marketing, Operations Management, Human Resource Management, and Banking and Finance. This broadens you career prospects and makes you more marketable.

Aforementioned courses develop proficiency and expertise in handling businesses and tackle situations smartly with the acquired knowledge.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
