The Business Administration Department seeks to educate students at the undergraduate level for meaningful managerial positions in business, government, and non-profit organizations. The faculty believe that education for business must be based upon a broad educational and cultural foundation encompassing the traditional arts and sciences.
The professional curriculum includes the common body of knowledge in the field of business administration and stresses a working knowledge of the major areas of business activity. In doing so, the curriculum provides for proficiency in the use of analytic techniques for solving management problems and an appreciation for and dedication to the social and ethical responsibilities of today's manager.
Students desiring to acquire more specialized knowledge and training may choose a major in one of four areas of concentration: marketing, human resource management, sport management, or accounting. The department also provides a student majoring in other disciplines the opportunity to earn a minor in business administration, with or without an emphasis area. Requirements for minors are listed after the requirements for the majors. Course descriptions for the required Economics courses are listed in a separate section entitled Economics.
