Business Administration

In order to meet the demands of a rapidly and dramatically changing world, the central objective of the Business Administration Department is to remain current and relevant. Thus the department provides students with the requisite knowledge and abilities to pursue a successful and satisfying career in any of many possible endeavors. In order to achieve this central objective, we are continually evaluating our programs and courses, dropping and adding as we do so, to ensure that we are teaching in fields that are vibrant and growing with the promise of substantial success for those who seek it.

In order to achieve our mission we need to assist our students to obtain the following goals:

• achieve coherence and articulation in written, oral, and graphic communication
• establish an understanding and appreciation of the interrelationships of interpersonal behavior within organizations
• demonstrate fluency with computer skills in word processing, database management, spreadsheets, and Internet resources
• achieve fluency with principles of finance, marketing, and management theory
• obtain an understanding of laws affecting business operations
• achieve currency with the principles of economics and the operating of global economies
• understand the operation of the information systems by which managers manage and the significance of the information generated from these systems
• research and explore the range of business literature to develop a more sophisticated level of analysis and research activities
