Business Management, Bachelor of Arts
Business enterprises are increasingly seeking liberal arts graduates with sound educational preparation in business and a broad knowledge of related disciplines, including economics and other social sciences.
The business management major is intentionally interdisciplinary, designed to develop students’ analytical and decision-making abilities, as well as the understanding of the domestic and international environments in which today’s organizations must function. While most courses are drawn from the areas of economics and business, the student will also study aspects of mathematics, computer systems, political science and psychology.
The business management major prepares students for employment in corporate functions such as production, purchasing, sales, public relations and financial and human resource management, as well as for opportunities in financial, government and nonprofit organizations.
A minor or certificate in entrepreneurship and small business management provides knowledge and skills for the student who wishes to work in a small business or as an independent entrepreneur.
Students frequently express the desire to pursue a graduate degree in business, government, economics or law. Faculty advisers assist students in tailoring academic programs to meet the requirements of the graduate-level studies they wish to pursue.
