Overview
The Business Administration major is designed to serve the student who wishes to approach the study of business from a broader perspective than would be possible with a traditional functional major. The student’s program of study will include a set of advanced electives selected according to a plan of study developed with the assistance of an academic advisor. This major is especially well suited for any student pursuing a degree in the evening.

CREDITS |
1 Students are tested for math placement during summer orientation. On the basis of these tests and their high school background it will be recommended that some students take Option II, especially if they expect to pursue graduate studies. The majority of students will be placed in Option I, and may also be required to take MATH 106: Quantitative Methods I as a prerequisite to taking MATH 107. |
2 Major courses can be chosen from any of the functional areas once the prerequisites have been satisfied.
