General Business

The mission of the Business Administration program is to educate students in the fundamental skills, knowledge, and practice of Business Administration and to prepare them for managerial, professional, and administrative positions in service and/or manufacturing industries or graduate level coursework. The specific course requirements for the BBA in Business Administration are outlined below.

Candidates interested in Business teacher licensure must complete the program of study, take a tightly prescribed set of education courses in lieu of electives, and enroll in the Master of Arts in Education program. Called the Master Teacher Option, this individualized course of study will allow a candidate to complete a Business degree, obtain teacher licensure, and get a Master’s degree in Education in 4-5 years.

Candidates should work with a Business advisor and an advisor from the School of Education and Public Service early and often to ensure enrollment in the required courses. ED 432 Classroom Management and ED 433 Methods in Education must be taken in the final undergraduate semester, and specific MAE courses must be taken prior to student teaching.
