Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors

The Business Administration degree program, which includes its eight options, is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB). The Business Administration degree program is one of the five degree programs offered in the School of Business Administration.

Coordinator - Eric L. Huggins

Recent decades have witnessed the phenomenal growth of service industries. The service sector of the economy now accounts for most of the job opportunities. In this region of the country the leading service industry is the tourism and hospitality industry. This industry will continue to grow and serve national and international markets. As it does, it will need future leaders and managers with better education and broader perspectives. The Tourism and Hospitality Management option addresses this need.

The Business Administration major - Tourism and Hospitality Management option provides a general understanding of the management challenges and organizational practices of a complex and diverse industry. The use of analytical tools and techniques for decision making, the development of the capacity for critical thought and leadership, and the ability to work with others will be significantly improved by interaction with regional companies through field projects in most courses and a required work experience.
