View information for the College of Business Administration .
This degree provides preparation for careers in a wide range of business administration and business-related fields, along with:
- a broad, liberal education,
- a basic understanding of the operation of a business enterprise,
- an understanding of the environment in which business exists and of which it is a part,
- proficiency in analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing managerial decisions, and
- a degree of specialized training in a selected area.
The business administration degree program has four principal components:
- prerequisites to the degree,
- English proficiency requirement,
- the business administration core, and
- the concentration requirements.
The prerequisites, which overlap the general education program, provide the foundation upon which the degree is later constructed. Students should schedule these courses during their freshman and sophomore years. The English proficiency requirement is important for all business courses and should be completed in the junior year.
The Business Administration core is a closely coordinated sequence of courses which introduces students to the broad field of business administration, develops knowledge of the organizational and management concepts which underlie the operation of all business enterprises, and develops effective ways of thinking about complex situations encountered in business administration. Except for the integrating course in business policy, which must be taken as the last course in the business administration core, students should schedule most courses in the core in their junior year.
The area of concentration provides the opportunity for specialized study in a selected area of interest.
