A NEW BUSINESS CONCENTRATION
                    FALL, 2009

     Heritage and Cultural Tourism

Beginning in the Fall of 2009, the School of Business, in conjunction with the Department of History from the School of Social Sciences and Religion, will offer a new concentration for the Bachelor of Business Administration degree which will focus on Heritage and Cultural Tourism.  This new concentration differs from other programs in hospitality management at other universities.  It represents an interdisciplinary approach to providing business and history students with an additional opportunity for application of their classroom learning.  This business concentration is being added in recognition of the growing interest in the tourism industry, specifically tourism related to heritage and cultural issues, coupled with the knowledge that operation of facilities requires a solid business background.

The School of Business has a team of Business Student Advocates, a group of McMurry students, who serve as representatives of the School of Business at functions that occur both on and off campus.  Members of the group are chosen by the business faculty on criteria such as:  classroom performance; campus and community involvement; acceptance of responsibility; individual initiative; and ability to function as a member of the team.  These students participate in various activities such as Student Preview Days; planning for business speakers and events; School of Business Advisory Board meetings; and assisting with prospective students.
