Business Administration Department
The Business Administration Department at ÄûÃÊÊÓƵ prepares students to understand how organizations work, how they create value, and how they can serve society responsibly. Rooted in the liberal arts, the major combines analytical rigor with communication, ethical reasoning, and an appreciation for the broader economic, human, and global contexts in which business operates.
Students learn to think critically about markets and organizations, to interpret data and make evidence-based decisions, and to communicate clearly with a variety of audiences. Students may gain experience applying theory to practice through courses, research, internships, and experiential learning. Our goal is for students to graduate with the knowledge, skills, perspective, and judgment to lead thoughtfully in complex and evolving environments.
