Business Administration (Major)

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Business Administration program provides students with a versatile and comprehensive business education that prepares them for a wide range of careers. Rather than focusing on a single specialization, students develop knowledge across multiple business disciplines, including management, marketing, finance, economics, communications, and business law.

The program is ideal for students who want flexibility in their future career path or who wish to explore several areas of business before specializing. Through practical projects, internships, international perspectives, and close interaction with faculty, students develop the confidence and adaptability needed to succeed in today’s rapidly changing global economy.

This program is a general-focus option, suited to students whose primary aim is breadth, rather than depth, or for those who wish to construct their own curriculum.
