Changes in Business Career Field Courses
As a result of the content standards review and revision process, the Business Unit reviewed the course outlines and offerings of each pathway - Business and Administrative Services (C4), Finance (G2) and Marketing (S5). Careful attention was once again paid to relevance and clear alignment to post program industry and occupation. For example, courses in Business and Administrative Services (C4) are aligned to preparing students for occupations in management, human resources management, legal management, general office management and medical management.
While analyzing the course content, enrollment data and career connectedness of courses, the following courses were removed from all the business pathways, starting in FY24 (next year):
BA Finance, BA Marketing, BA Strategic Management and Business Applications and Economics
These changes are reflected in the FY24 Program and Assessment Matrix (Draft) on the Ohio Department of Education website. All business, finance, logistics, and marketing educators are encouraged to review the FY24 Program and Assessment Matrix (Draft). For questions or assistance with program design, please contact a member of the business unit.
