The business administration curriculum is designed to prepare
students for careers as business leaders who will earn their
livelihoods by discerning and satisfying people’s wants and needs.
Success in this endeavor requires (1) the ability to think
independently, (2) knowledge of business terminology and business
institutions, both domestic and international, and (3) communication
skills. Courses in economics and the functional areas of business
administration introduce the student to business institutions,
terminology, and methods of inquiry. Most business administration
and economics courses have a communications component. These courses
and the capstone course in business policy provide opportunity to
develop and enhance thinking and communication skills.
The program in business administration is also designed to give
graduates a solid foundation in the concepts and analysis of
business functional areas that will be needed for graduate study.
Many graduates of this program go on to receive a Master of Business
Administration degree or a master’s degree in a specific business
area.
In addition to preparing students for business careers and graduate
school, the program in business administration is valuable
preparation for other careers. Students learn administrative skills
and methods of inquiry that are applicable in governmental and
non-profit organizations. Since much legal practice involves
businesses and a knowledge of business terminology and institutions,
this major is an excellent background for the study and practice of
law.
