Business Administration

Integrating practice with theory, the business administration program prepares students to be leaders in their organizations. While in the program, students develop competencies in communications, critical thinking, problem solving, project management and interpersonal skills. Basic business functions, from accounting to organizational behavior to business communications, are part of the curriculum.

The structure of classes reinforces the importance of experiential and team-based learning. Students are teamed and work together on projects and presentations both inside and outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged and expected to voice their opinions and reflect on their learning. Classes take many forms but generally consist of some lecture with real life application of theory, class discussions, review of assignments and presentations.
