The Department of Business Administration, Economics, and Finance offers majors in business administration and in economics and finance. This department combines the programs of two formerly separate departments - the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Economics and Finance. The department provides a broad, general background in business, emphasizing the basics of business in core programs. Students can design their own areas of specialization from the electives offered within the department, e.g., management and entrepreneurial studies.
Management prepares the student for careers in public and private organizations.
Entrepreneurial study prepares the student for owning a business. The department offers a major in economics and finance, which requires a combination of economics, finance, and business courses. This major prepares students for a wide variety of careers in business and government and can also serve as a springboard for graduate studies in economics, finance, law, business administration, public policy, education, and many other disciplines. The department also offers a minor in economics and finance designed to meet unique career objectives.
