Business Administration (BS) | Office | Website

Description

A degree in Business Administration provides students with the knowledge base and functional skills required to meet the varied and complex responsibilities faced by managers in businesses and other kinds of organizations.

Students complete a set of business core courses which encompass all of the major functional areas essential to the successful operation of any organization. This ensures that graduates are prepared to enter a variety of positions upon graduation. Students must also take at least four advanced business electives beyond the business core: these may be used to expand the breadth of their knowledge in several subject areas or to increase their depth of understanding in one area. At least one of the four electives must be chosen from International Business.

A wide range of opportunities exist for business majors upon graduation. Large corporations, small or family-held businesses, not-for-profit organizations and government agencies all have need for the skills and knowledge possessed by a business administration major. Participation in co-op often helps students to narrow their career focus to a specific occupation, firm, or industry.
