Department Mission Statement

The curricula of the Department of Business Administration and Economics will lead to a foundation of competency in business disciplines. The classroom is a forum in which the students will be challenged to develop and demonstrate mastery of specific skills including: logical, consistent, critical, and creative thinking; effective communication; and responsible and confident leadership. The faculty is committed to nurturing and inspiring integrity, poise, and standards of civility and respect.

The department sponsors several activities that are designed to enrich the students’ education. These include: Enactus Entrepreneurial Experience; on-site business seminars offered during May Term; internship experiences for students; and a student-run investment group which manages a significant portfolio of endowment funds with income devoted to international scholarships.

Departmental Requirements

• Unless exceptions have been granted by articulation agreements with specific institutions, 300-level courses taken at two-year institutions will not normally be accepted as meeting department requirements.
• Students enrolling in courses in the department are responsible for completing all prerequisites for those courses.
• Cooperative Education experiences and internships, while strongly encouraged, cannot be used to fulfill electives in the majors and minors and are graded H/P/NP.
• While Calculus is not required, we strongly encourage students to take the course.
• The normal sequence for offering courses is listed (e.g. every fall semester) to help planning course schedules, however, it should be noted that this may vary due sabbaticals and other occurrences within the Department.
