BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS PROGRAM
The Business Administration and Economics Program provides an integrated interdisciplinary study program. Students receive a solid foundation in the principal functional areas of a modern commercial enterprise, as well as concentrated advanced preparation in an area of their choice. Thus, the graduate is well prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of today's business world. Of particular benefit to students and their future employers is the strong international focus of the program. This comes not only from the world-conscious course offerings, but from interaction with fellow students. Students in the business program come from over 40 different countries, representing most regions of the world.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Business Administration Program consists of 45 units of General Education and two major parts: general business administration courses and courses from an area of concentration. All business students are required to complete the 44-unit general business administration (GBA) requirements. This program enables students to gain a comprehensive business background in the principal areas of business operations. Included in the GBA program is a strong foundation in computer principles which meets the requirements of today's business environment.
Upon completion of the GBA requirements, students select a concentration area for advanced study. Currently the following concentration areas are available:
-
International Business
-
Economics
-
Management
-
Small Business Enterprise
-
Management Information Systems
Each concentration requires 21 units of advanced study chosen from a select list of courses designed to prepare students for a career in that particular field. Students may also develop an individualized concentration using existing courses with the approval of the Academic Advisor and the Dean. The program is concluded with the course of Business Policies (BA 290). This course is usually taken in the student's final semester and provides a comprehensive conclusion to the degree. Knowledge gained throughout the program is combined to give students a crucial overall understanding of business operations.
