Business Administration
General InformationA major in Business Administration provides a broad based education in all business disciplines including our “common professional component” in business but with sufficient depth that students engage in higher level learning in key disciplines. This major provides the education required for “generalist” managerial positions. These are managers who understand how an organization functions, how it relates to its external environment and how people within the organization behave. Management generalists are not tied to a particular functional area, which means they can occupy a wide range of positions within an organization in a wide array of organizations in business, government and the nonprofit sector. A degree in Business Administration is also beneficial to students who want to own/operate a small business, enter corporate management training programs or perform analytical work and projects within an organization.
