Program Mission

To use stakeholder feedback to prepare our students for their future career as ethical, globally aware, and civic-oriented business leaders.

Curriculum

The business administration major (BA) is offered in six concentrations: accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, information technology, management, and marketing. Each concentration requires the business administration major to have a generalist background in management, accounting, economics, finance, and computer applications. Building from this knowledge base, the student continues to increase his/her skills and knowledge with the required courses of the concentration. The flexibility of the curriculum allows students to select additional business administration courses for electives.
