In Week B, we will focus on our first units of study: Intro to Business & Business Technology. 

In Unit 1: Introduction to Business. In this unit, we will explore the fundamentals of business: what defines a business, how businesses are categorized from a profit perspective, and some important terms we’ll rely on throughout the semester like profit, loss, and value.

We’ll also get started with our work in Microsoft® Excel® which is a fundamental program in business in Unit 2: Business Technology. Whether you are processing inventory, crunching data, or just trying to keep projects organized, becoming fluent in Microsoft® Excel® will be one of your biggest takeaways from BUS 104 — and it will help you in future BMCC courses and beyond.

The exercises we will complete throughout this semester are geared at providing the basic building blocks of Microsoft® Excel® proficiency, and making you a more confident user. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about learning the skills.

If you don’t have Microsoft® Excel® on your computer, you’re in luck — BMCC provides all students with free downloads. Click here to find out more and download the program for yourself.
