Business Administration

Program Overview

The Business Administration major is designed to prepare students for careers in business, for graduate studies and for business ministry opportunities by shaping student knowledge, skills, and development from within the context of a Christian worldview.

This major provides four specializations, thus allowing students to focus on their preferred area of expertise while gaining overall business administration knowledge.

The Management specialization within the Business Administration major provides a broad and comprehensive view of business, while the Marketing specialization gives a more focused emphasis on the marketing function. The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence specialization provides professional competencies in managing information, computers, databases, systems analysis, and business principles related to computer information systems. The Sport Management specialization provides students with the fundamental business knowledge and sport management skills necessary to become successful, well-trained managers and leaders in the global sports industry.
