Degree Requirements


The major in Business Administration is an all-purpose general business degree designed to prepare individuals to perform managerial functions in the public and private sectors. Like other majors in the School of Business, students take a series of core courses in the fundamentals of economics, accounting, management, marketing and finance. Students then balance the rest of their major with advanced courses in management, marketing, finance and accounting. The curriculum provides an educational experience for leadership positions in the business and professional world, and in various business ministries within the church-related, service-oriented institutions. The Christian value system and perspective, particularly as it relates to the modern business environment, will be integrated throughout the academic program.

Graduates with a degree in Business Administration are able to:

  1. Demonstrate foundational knowledge of common business principles.
  2. Articulate business concepts and theories to help solve real-world problems.
  3. Apply career readiness skills needed for the workplace.

  5. Evaluate practices and issues in business from a Christian worldview.
