B.S. in Business Administration

The business curriculum has been developed to allow students to pursue careers in public, private, and international business organizations as well as not-for-profit agencies. B.S. in Business Administration

All students are required to complete prerequisite courses (Section I: Related Courses) which provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to complete the business program. Students then enroll in business foundation courses (Section II: Marketing/Management Foundation) which provide a basic understanding to the key functional areas of business administration.

Students may then select one of the two options in performing advanced course work in the degree program: (1) select at least one of the three specializations in the field [Section IIIA; (2) select the general option [Section IIIB]. All students are also required to complete six credits in "capstone" courses (Section IV). These classes have been developed to integrate prior learning throughout the business curriculum and provide students the opportunity to apply their learning to "real world" situations through case analyses, computer business simulations, and field work experiences.

• The business program includes a broad- based curriculum that allows students to pursue careers in public, private, and international business organizations as well as not-for-profit agencies.
• Students may choose from one of three specializations within the major (entrepreneurship, not-for-profit management, international business) or may follow the general business program option.
• Faculty have both a strong academic background as well as practical work experience and inject "real world" relevance into the required readings, lectures, and case studies.
• Academic and career advisement is provided by the business faculty who know the students in the major and who realistically and effectively advise students in matters of course selection, career options, work-study, and job placement.
• Opportunities for career-relevant work experience through the College's Cooperative Education and Internships programs, the Small Business Institute, and Volunteers in Tax Assistance.
• Course scheduling accommodates both full and part-time students with business courses offered during the day, evenings, and weekends.
• A full summer schedule allows students to study year round and to complete their degree program in less time.

• Graduates acquire the key skills that are critical to a successful career in business.
• Graduates of our program work for major corporations (such as Marine Midland Bank, Suffolk National Bank, Salomon Brothers, and the Bell Atlantic Corporation) and progress to key executive positions in these firms.
• Graduates participating in the Co- operative Education program typically receive job offers from their employers.
• Graduates who opt for graduate school in business and/or accountancy are thoroughly prepared to further their education.
• Graduates develop an appreciation of the role of business in society and understand the importance and impact of the field of business.
