Welcome to the Business, Marketing and Finance Career Cluster (BMF), a part of the Business and Industry Endorsement, at the Dr. Gene Burton College and Career Academy!

We are so excited that you are here!

This comprehensive cluster provides students with meaningful courses for business, marketing, entrepreneurship and finance while being flexible and adaptable to the needs of industry and society. Students are provided broad, transferable concepts and competencies that allow them to enter the job market with the ability to function in new and emerging occupations as well as to reach their maximum potential in higher education. These courses provide students with knowledge and skills that are transferable to all occupations.

Students are encouraged to join and participate in an extended learning experience through DECA or 205 Pitmasters (BBQ Club). Students in these BMF student organizations have opportunity to participate in district, state and national/international competitive events.
