The Business Administration program allows the student to maximize flexibility in determining one’s academic curriculum. Earning a degree in business administration prepares graduates to communicate effectively, think critically, integrate knowledge across business disciplines, demonstrate a global perspective, and solve problems from an integrated, multi-disciplinary business perspective. Students can tailor the degree to fit their interests and pursue concentrations in business analytics, entrepreneurship, finance, international business, management, or marketing. The business administration curriculum is also ideal to prepare students for the rigors of law school. Several law school courses, such as Business Entities, Employment Law, Constitutional Law, and Anti-trust, focus on the employment and managerial decisions of businesses. If a student is interested in a career in insurance, real estate, or financial institutions, there is also a concentration available in pre-licensing courses.
In today’s job market, there are a variety of career opportunities for those holding a degree in Business Administration. The degree is designed to provide students with a strong academic foundation in core business functions. Globalization, a growing economy, and a complex tax and regulatory environment are expected to continue to fuel a strong demand for accountants and auditors. In addition, the increasing use of data and market research to understand customers and product demand, and to evaluate marketing strategies, will lead to growing demand for market research analysts.
