Per WGU's published description, D078 provides students with a generalist overview of the business environment and a deeper look at a number of topics that make up the non-discipline areas of business which are required for a business person to be successful within any business environment. The first part of the course focuses on knowledge about organizations and how people operate within organizations, including the areas of organizational theory, structure, and effectiveness. The course then looks at business from a legal perspective with an overview of the legal environment of business, preparing the student to consider specific legal situations and to make legal and ethical decisions related to those situations.
Ten catalog program tables carry it, all in the School of Business, and at 2 CUs it is one of the lightest courses on the list, which is exactly why it gets postponed. The B.S. Human Resource Management, B.S. Information Technology Management, B.S. Business Management, B.S. Communications, and B.S. Project Management place it in term 2, the B.S. User Experience Design in term 3, the B.S. Accounting, B.S. Marketing, and B.S. Finance in term 5, and the B.S. Supply Chain and Operations Management in term 6. The catalog also lists a sequel course, D079 Business Environment Applications II: Process, Logistics, and Operations (BUS 2061), in 8 of the same 10 degrees.
