PURPOSE

The Business Administration program exists to prepare students for entry-level management positions in a variety of business organizations within the context of a Christian worldview.  Beyond a study of foundational business courses, students may pursue one of two concentrations in this program:  management or computer information systems.  The management concentration gives a more in-depth look at business management-related subjects and issues.  The computer information systems concentration gives more in-depth training in technology within a business management context.
