Students also take courses through the College of Arts & Sciences to help ensure they acquire skills important for professional success and lifelong personal and intellectual growth.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:

Apply the major concepts, skills and values of business administration.
Communicate effectively to diverse audiences, purposes and situations through a variety of professional methods within business administration.
Use decision support tools to resolve contemporary business issues using ethical business practices.
The general business competencies and skills gained through this program are designed to complement the candidate's associate degree education.
