Coordinator - Eric L. Huggins
The Business Administration major - Business Administration option, sometimes referred to as “general business,” provides a broad base of knowledge for beginning a business career. It enables maximum flexibility in career choice and change throughout one’s career. Students are expected to develop a basic understanding of the social, legal, and economic environments of business, including an introduction to international business, organizational behavior, the principles of leadership and organization theory, the quantitative tools of decisionmaking, and the functional areas of the firm.
Students work with assigned advisors to select elective courses that enhance their particular interest. Emphasis is placed on developing a general background with a well-balanced understanding of business. This program, then, provides a sound undergraduate education for entrance into a professional career or graduate school.
