Business Administration Major

In today's competitive, global business environment, managers must have a variety of skills – coupled with knowledge and experience – in order to manage and lead successfully. Managers are no longer insulated within functional areas of business. Many responsible positions require a solid background in business fundamentals, as well as an appreciation of the interrelated nature of business functions. 

The Business Administration [BADM] major provides students the opportunity to develop skills in their business-related areas of interest and increase their understanding of the broader business environment. Students create an individualized, but integrated set of courses – from the approved list of business electives and no more than one course outside the School of Management. The curriculum allows students to develop their communication, analytical and computer skills, creativity, and other qualities necessary for success in organizational life. Ultimately, this major provides a more comprehensive, but tailored education opening up a variety of career paths for students.

Curriculum

Students take 20 credits of upper division, non-core business coursework. With approval from a faculty advisor, 4 of the 20 credits may be from business related coursework in other colleges within the University.
