The business administration major provides a broad-based education
in the fundamental theories, principles, and practices of modern
business. The program develops a general management outlook
toward organizations and the changing environment they face.
It teaches standards of professional and ethical behavior along
with the technical expertise and leadership attributes necessary to attain entry-level positions in business. Students who major in
business administration are expected to master a core of courses
in business and economics, and may choose from a concentration
selected from one of the following areas: economics, finance,
information systems, international business, management, and
marketing. All students will take the following common core of
classes described under General Core.
