Major in Business Administration

The Business Administration major prepares students for careers in marketing, finance, management or economics. Students completing the Accounting major are prepared for professional certification exams. They are also provided with skills necessary to perform in an accounting related career. Through the liberal arts education, students develop valuable communication and reasoning skills. Both the Business Administration major and the Accounting major are designed and evaluated to ensure students are prepared for entry directly into the workforce or for acceptance into graduate school.

Dual Purpose

Consistent with Carroll Colleges, dual goals of vocation and enlightenment, the Department of Business, Accounting, and Economics also serves a dual mission. Students are provided a common body of knowledge necessary for entry into a business-related career. At the same time, the curriculum ensures that students receive a well-rounded liberal arts education. Value oriented discussions, including ethical dilemmas encountered in global business, are included in the curriculum.
