The E. J. Ourso College of Business offers specialized professional training in several areas of business in addition to a program of general business administration. The curricula of the various departments are shown in the following chart.
Each curriculum is constructed to ensure that students receive a broad general education and a sound foundation in the basic areas of business knowledge. At the same time, students may obtain limited specialization in a particular area of business. The objective of the college is to provide training in the functional fields of business administration so students will be qualified to hold positions of leadership, trust, and responsibility in business and industry.
The E. J. Ourso College of Business is a member school of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Its undergraduate programs have been accredited continuously by the AACSB since 1931.
MISSION OF THE COLLEGE
The statement of mission and objectives below was developed by the E. J. Ourso College of Business's strategic planning committee and was approved by the faculty of the college in the spring of 1993.
The mission of the E. J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University is to be the provider of premier business, management, and economic education in the state and a leader in the southeastern United States. This mission stems from LSU's position as the state's flagship University. The college is responsible for achieving excellence in the development, dissemination, and application of knowledge about the functioning of public, private, and nonprofit organizations in a global environment.
The teaching mission of the college is to produce outstanding graduates by offering comprehensive, state-of-the-art bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and continuing professional education programs in business, economics, and management of public and nonprofit organizations. The college seeks to provide its students with unique opportunities for personal and professional growth based on ethical awareness and an ability to think innovatively.
The college is equally committed to its research mission: to conduct and disseminate significant basic and applied research studies in entrepreneurship, organizations, public policy, and the economy. Such research contributes to and transcends the teaching mission of the college by advancing the frontiers of knowledge.
The college has a service mission to the University, outside constituencies, and the community of scholars. It seeks to fulfill this mission by contributing to the University's effective functioning, by interacting with business and government to foster the state's and nation's economic development, by serving in professional associations, and by developing and managing rigorous academic journals.

Each student must see a counselor for a final degree checkout during the semester prior to the semester in which the degree is to be awarded.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Students who complete degree requirements during intersession should plan to graduate in August and must inform the dean's office of this intention. Such students should see a counselor and register in the summer for “degree only.”
Students who have completed courses at another college or university must have an official transcript covering this work on file in the Office of the University Registrar before registering for the degree.
BETA GAMMA SIGMA
Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is one of the highest forms of recognition at the national level that a student can receive in an undergraduate or master's program in business or management. To be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper 7 percent of the junior class, upper 10 percent of the graduating senior class, or upper 20 percent of the graduating master's class. Members are elected to membership and publicly recognized during the fall and/or spring term.
Beta Gamma Sigma has three purposes: to encourage and reward scholarship, to promote advancement of education in business, and to foster integrity in the conduct of business operations.
PHI KAPPA PHI
Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective honor society for all academic disciplines. Its chapters are on nearly 300 campuses in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Each year, approximately 30,000 members are initiated. Some of the organization’s more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, writer John Grisham, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, and Netscape founder James Barksdale. The LSU chapter was founded in 1930 as the 43rd chapter in the nation. At the present time, the national office is located on this campus in the French House.
The mission of Phi Kappa Phi is to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others. Phi Kappa Phi is unique because it recognizes superior scholarship in all academic fields, rather than restricting membership to a limited field. Juniors in the top 7.5 percent and seniors and graduate students in the top ten percent of their classes may be invited to become members of Phi Kappa Phi. New LSU Phi Kappa Phi members are initiated and honored in the spring semester each year and wear identifying ribbons on their academic gowns at commencement exercises. Additional information about the Society may be found at www.phikappaphi.org.
