Business Administration, B.A.

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration is designed to provide students with the necessary tools to begin a career in business or to increase the skillset for those already working in a business setting. Students will become competent in the areas of communication (written and oral), creative and critical thinking, management theory, leadership theory and organizational structure. Students will choose a concentration area to expand their business knowledge and become more marketable in human resource management, non-profit management, health care administration, or organizational leadership. All content is delivered through the lens of a Christian world view to enable students to integrate faith in decision making to promote sound business ethics. Courses are offered in an accelerated format both online, through distance learning, and on campus during convenient times.
