Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees (Business Administration)
A degree in business administration emphasizes the development of skills which are required for the 21st century workplace – strong ability in oral and written communication, teamwork, and analytic acumen. Complementing the program in business is a curriculum rooted in the liberal arts. Courses in communications, mathematics, science, humanities, and social sciences constitute over half of the required academic work for the degrees. Students are required to study a foreign language. Language proficiency enhances the potential for success in an increasingly global business community. Literature and history courses can be chosen to enhance studies in culture and language.
