About Business Education
We live in a world mediated by money and the marketplace - a world that demands business and
economic literacy. We need to teach this knowledge at all levels of education, and we need teachers
who have been well trained in order to accomplish that. Lakeland's business education program
strives to create just such teachers.
In conjunction with the professional sequence of the Education Division, this major introduces its
students to the most important concepts and practices of business and economics and provides a
strong foundation in writing and business communication. With its internship or field experience
requirement, the business education program allows aspiring educators to know their subject by
putting it into practice.
