Welcome to Introduction to Business. I hope that you are as excited as I am about participating in the online class.
If this is your first online course, I encourage you to carefully read all of the course instructions, course policies, and materials before proceeding. As described in the class schedule, this is a Distance Education course (DE) and the learning experience for DE is a different from a traditional course.
Introduction to Business is a foundation course in business administration that includes such topics as business finance, personnel, production, distribution, and managerial controls. It is a 3-unit course that is transferable to CSU and UC schools.
