Business Administration

The Business Administration curriculum is designed to introduce students to the various aspects of the free enterprise system. Students will be provided with a fundamental knowledge of business functions, processes, and an understanding of business organizations in today’s global economy.

Course work includes business concepts such as accounting, business law, economics, management, and marketing. Skills related to the application of these concepts are developed through the study of computer applications, communication, team building, and decision making.

Through these skills, students will have a sound business education base for lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared for employment opportunities in government agencies, financial institutions, and large to small business or industry.

Mission Statement

The primary focus of our department is to train students to possess the appropriate skill set so that our graduates can find employable opportunities. We attempt to mold students that are critical thinkers and flexible for today’s job market. We have a goal to offer postsecondary technical education at the highest level of quality. For those students that desire to be entrepreneurs, we strive to train those students to be well prepared before entering their careers as business owners.
