Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Business Administration (Entrepreneurship Emphasis)
Pre-Calculus (Math 104) Waived
2014-2015 Catalog

The Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration program provides students with a liberal arts
education paired with strong professional preparation in business. This undergraduate degree’s course of
study equips students to solve business problems through the application of the basic tools in accounting,
economics, finance, management, marketing, technology and quantitative methods.

Students earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration learn to communicate in a clear and effective
manner, both orally and in writing, and gain awareness of global business challenges and contemporary
ethical issues confronting the business sector. Graduates also possess an awareness of the operation of the
institutions of the American economy and how these institutions compare and interact with those of other
countries.

A B.S. in Business Administration degree program also offers students the opportunity to emphasize their
studies in a particular area. Emphases are offered in:

? Business Economics
? Entrepreneurship
? Finance
? International Business
? Management
? Marketing
? Real Estate

Students may pursue one or more emphases in the business administration major. An emphasis is satisfied by
taking fifteen credits from among the upper–division electives listed for that emphases. Only one course may
be counted for more than one emphasis. The emphasis area is noted on the transcript. Internship and
individual study credits do not count toward an emphasis.

Success in launching a new venture often depends on a good plan, finance, leadership, and execution. Starting
a new business is exhilarating, challenging, and requires many important ingredients. This emphasis provides
insight in to an entrepreneurial career by exploring opportunities leading to partial or full ownership and
control of a business, as well as understanding the entrepreneurial process. Topics include attributes of
entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial careers, evaluating opportunities, writing and presenting business plans,
financing the venture, managing and growing a new venture, execution, and exit. Students will gain an
understanding of the entire entrepreneurial process which may lead them start a new venture or just develop
an appreciation of how to deal with entrepreneurs and new ventures.
