The James J. Nance College of Business Administration prepares its graduates for careers in both business and governmental organizations. The student is first educated to assume responsibility through an understanding of national and world environments. This is accomplished through the study of a lower-division core of courses founded upon cultural, behavioral, quantitative, philosophic, historic, scientific, and economic bases. After achieving this basic understanding of the environment and the nature of responsibility to society, the student is ready to pursue professional training in business and general administration. The upper-division student pursues professional programs to develop specialized knowledge and skills in a chosen major field.
Emphasis is placed upon individual initiative and decision- making skills.
Students are trained in problem definition and solution. They are provided fundamental tools and knowledge that will assist them in meeting the leadership responsibilities of business, civic, and personal life. For information on these programs, refer to the Cleveland State University Bulletin, Graduate Issue, available through the College of Graduate Studies .
