Bachelors of Arts with a major in Applied Administration

The goal of the Applied Administration major is to develop in each student a broad understanding of how the elements and processes of the field of administration, particularly in applied settings, relate to one another and to the external environment. Degree requirements are designed to develop proficiency and confidence in all of the functional areas of administration. In addition to providing the technical skills required for a managerial position, the ethical considerations of all aspects of administration are emphasized. These programs are supported by experienced faculty with expertise in all functional areas of administration.
