 Our Mission...
To provide students with the opportunity to obtain a quality education in Business Administration and Accounting and gain an awareness of their individual strengths and vocational interests in order to make appropriate career decisions.
The Business Administration program has been accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education.
Please refer to the 2007-2009 Undergraduate Catalog for the latest of information on programs and courses.
The department offers a rigorous, up-to-date curriculum that prepares students for imaginative and responsible citizenship and leadership roles in business and accounting - domestic and worldwide. Responsive to the philosophy of the guidelines of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the curriculum is geared to social, economic, and technological developments and reflects the application of evolving knowledge in economics and the behavioral and quantitative sciences. While the programs offered are career-oriented, the department realizes that contemporary business and accounting professionals must bring a broad and varied perspective to their respective crafts. Accordingly, the department requires that prospective graduates take at least half of the 120 hours needed for a degree outside the department, with particular emphasis given to the development of written and oral communicative skills and the acquisition of the ability to think creatively and critically.
Due to the nature of the program, students majoring in Business Administration find themselves prepared for a cross-section of opportunities. Recent graduates have embarked on careers in areas ranging from business and management consulting to financial planning for corporations and government. The banking and investment fields have also interested many of our graduates. Other students have chosen sales management, insurance, or personnel administration as their field. Those wishing to pursue graduate studies have found that the skills acquired through their course work and field experiences have opened doors to major universities. |
