Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Business Administration is to support the mission of the Bryan School, primarily through the imparting of knowledge through instructional programs and secondarily through the creation of knowledge through basic and applied research. A third priority is to provide service through involvement in University, professional and community activities.
The Department of Business Administration offers the Business Administration major, which leads to the Bachelor of Science degree.
Business Administration Major
The objective of the Business Administration major is to provide liberally educated students with a broad exposure to the functional areas of business and a more comprehensive understanding of one of the managerial specialties through a choice of a concentration:
Human Resources focuses on skills and knowledge needed by the professional human resources manager: job analysis, recruiting, screening, selection, training and development, performance appraisal, job evaluation, and salary administration.
Entrepreneurship/Small Business focuses on special issues related to the organization and management of smaller enterprises, family-owned business, and entrepreneurship.
Business Studies is most appropriate for those who want a broad business exposure without the need to concentrate specifically in one functional area. (Also offered as an evening program.)
