Business Administration
Curriculum
The Business Administration program prepares students for entry-level and supervisory roles across every industry that runs on sound management, marketing, and financial decision-making. Students build a broad foundation in the core functions of business — management, marketing, accounting, law, and operations — while developing the communication and computer skills employers expect from day one.
Coursework blends theory with applied projects: building a marketing plan, drafting a business proposal, and completing a capstone project that mirrors real workplace challenges. An optional supervised internship lets students apply what they've learned in an actual business setting before graduation.
Graduates are prepared for roles such as administrative supervisor, office manager, sales representative, or small-business owner, and the program's general-education foundation supports transfer into four-year business programs for students who choose to continue their education.
