The School of Business Administration, founded in 1918, is the largest professional school at the University. All programs are accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business; its curriculum, therefore, is similar to those of other recognized schools of business.

The aim of the School of Business Administration is to provide a broad foundation in organizational administration and exposure to the basic principles of various business disciplines. The complexity of contemporary society has brought an increasing need for responsible leadership. A professional business education combined with solid grounding in the liberal arts and sciences prepares men and women to meet difficult challenges an to participate in the molding of the future.

Students may pursue a program of studies leading to the B.S. in Business Administration, with an emphasis in any of the following areas: accounting, financial management, decision sciences, international business, management, and marketing.

Opportunity for further study at the graduate level is offered through programs leading to the degrees of Master of Business Administration and Master of Accountancy. The M.B.A. program is particularly suited to those students whose undergraduate training has been in areas other than business administration. Further details may be obtained from the Graduate Studies bulletin or by specific inquiries directed to: Director of Graduate Studies, School of Business Administration.
