Success in business rests on a strong foundation of some basic concepts. Our Business Administration program is designed to provide you with this foundation and enhance your knowledge in a specialized area of study.

In your first year, our instructors provide you with an introduction to accounting, management, marketing, business law, entrepreneurship, microeconomics, communication, and technology. You’ll test your knowledge with practical exercises and work in teams that simulate the real-world business environment.
In your second year, you build on your knowledge by majoring in the area of greatest interest to you:
