Business Administration Major
Students must complete requirements in one of the following areas of emphasis:
- Business Analytics
- Entrepreneurship
- General Business
- Supply Chain Management
Overview of Program Emphases
Business Analytics:
Learn to translate data for business decisions. The Business Analytics major prepares students to interpret and analyze complex data into comprehensive insights for making actionable decisions. Students will be able to answer questions regarding what happened, what will happen, and what needs to be done.
Entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurship skills are highly sought and marketable. Entrepreneurially minded graduates keep organizations viable through innovation. Entrepreneurship courses develop students' skills in problem solving, resourcefulness, independence, and critical thinking. The Entrepreneurship Emphasis provides students with in-depth knowledge in the Entrepreneurship domain through a rigorous curriculum with courses covering important topics including how to capture new markets and create new businesses that operate virtually, about online peer networks, e-business models and pitch experience and venture acceleration.
General Business:
The General Business emphasis is designed for working professionals seeking to advance their professional careers. The emphasis provides students with the opportunity to tailor the major by selecting specific coursework benefitting their career or aligning with their interests. Students can select to pursue one of the three certificate tracks (Digital Marketing & Sales, Entrepreneurship, or Supply Chain Management) or pursue the broad selection of courses to complete the general track. Entry into the program requires the transfer of a minimum of 40 credits from an accredited university, and at least 3 years of full-time equivalent relevant, professional experience to be evaluated through submitted evidentiary material. Admitted students can earn an additional six credits toward their general major requirements (Capstone experience excluded) through credit for prior learning. Evaluation of credit for prior learning follows accepted university practices.
Supply Chain Management:
Supply chain management is one of the most important career choices in the world. Everything we purchase gets to store shelves via a supply chain. Students will learn how supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies. The program closely studies the supply of materials to a manufacturer, along with the production and the distribution of finished goods through a network of distributors and retailers to a final customer. Careers in supply chain management are on the rise and continually increasing year after year with an excellent job outlook.
