Business Administration

The undergraduate program in business administration concentrates on a combination of basic and advanced courses in the various business disciplines. These are coordinated with courses covering current developments in the field, such as environmental aspects, quantitative techniques and computer applications. The emphasis of the business administration curriculum is on relevance, and the courses are continually updated with the objective of equipping each student with a background in the science of management. This will permit students to contribute significantly to their chosen occupations after graduation. The curriculum is designed to permit the student to acquire a foundation in all areas of business administration: accounting, business law, information systems, economics, finance, marketing, management, quantitative methods and statistics. After graduation, the student has an excellent background in the business and management fields and can directly enter the job market, in commerce, industry, government or other areas. Many students may wish to continue into graduate school or enter one of the professional fields such as law, where they will have had an excellent undergraduate preparation. Candidates for a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must complete the minimum course requirements as outlined in the following curriculum. A minimum of 50 percent of the business courses must be completed at Florida Tech.
