Students often make the mistake of focusing their education too narrowly. Because they assume that more specialization is always better, they fail to take advantage of the breadth of courses available at a university like VCU. Because the world of business changes rapidly, specific knowledge is likely to have a very short half life. As a result, after graduating, students will need to continue to learn and adapt rapidly to a constantly changing environment. In general, those with a broad-based undergraduate education will be best able to adjust.
