Business Administration
Coursework in the Business Administration Division is designed to provide the student with a broad-based business education appropriate for responsible managerial positions in business, government and other enterprises.
The infrastructure of the program consists of the concepts professionally regarded as the "common body of knowledge." The Lakeland common body or "core" includes study in accounting, economics, finance, law, management, marketing and quantitative analysis. It also includes considerations of ethical, societal and cultural dimensions along with bottom line implications in developing problem solving, decision making and managerial competence.
