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
specialities 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.
Marketing
is concerned with the development and pricing of products, selection
of distribution channels, and promotion of products to consumers and
businesses. This concentration leads to careers in sales, sales management,
advertising, and retailing as well as marketing management.
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.)
