Our curriculum has been developed by experienced faculty members working collaboratively with a local advisory council. This business council is composed of industry leaders who share their expertise and personal connections to help identify and secure future opportunities for our students. As a business administration student, you will have flexibility to tailor your program to meet your needs and future goals.

In the Business Administration program, you can choose from two options—a non-comprehensive Business Administration major requiring an academic minor, or a comprehensive (no minor required) major in which you choose from five different concentrations: Finance, International Business, Marketing, Management or Supply Chain Management.
