Core Curriculum
The Business Administration program of study is offered in three concentrations:
- General Management
- Management Accounting
- Economics
- Information Technology
Each concentration requires the business administration major to have a generalist background in management, accounting, economics, finance, and computer applications. Building from this knowledge base, the student continues to increase his/her skills and knowledge with the required courses of the concentration. The flexibility of the curriculum allows students to select additional business administration courses for electives.
