Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

The Business degree program prepares undergraduates for careers in the business world by offering an academically challenging program that produces a new kind of leader for business, industry, government, the arts, and health services.  This new leader leaves the program with the skills needed to function as a professional in the complex organizations of the 21st century.  The requirements for this degree integrate the business core.  The foundation for the program is a four-course sequence emphasizing a cross functional approach to business issues and perspectives.  These courses, BADM 180, ACCT 280, MKTG 380 and MGMT 480 are augmented by liberal arts studies taught across diverse disciplines, fundamental business courses, and more advanced courses in the business option.  Along with an integrated curriculum, the faculty and business leaders have developed a comprehensive list of competencies that students must attain before graduation from this program.  The competency categories for the business degree are communication, teamwork/diversity, adaptability, problem solving and accountability and ethics.  The computer science degree categories are technical, social, environment and interpersonal development.  Most business courses also emphasize team projects in addition to individual assignments.  Co-op and internship experiences are integrated into some options and encouraged in others.

Twelve areas of concentration, called options, are available within the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree program.  These options are accounting, computer information systems, economics, entrepreneurship, corporate finance, financial planning, general business, health care management, human resource management, international business, marketing, and management.  Two of these option, accounting and general business, can be earned through our evening program.  The accounting option offers an integrated undergraduate/graduate curriculum that allows for optimum efficiency in continuing into the graduate program with an accounting emphasis.
