Business Administration
The Business Administration Curriculum is designed to
introduce students to the various aspects of the free enterprise
system. Students will be provided with a fundamental
knowledge of business functions and processes, and an understanding
of business organizations in today’s global economy.
Course work includes business concepts such as accounting,
business law, economics, management, and marketing. Skills
related to the application of these concepts are developed
through the study of computer applications, communication,
team building, and decision making.
Through these skills, students will have a sound business
education base for lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared
for employment opportunities in government agencies, financial
institutions, and large to small businesses or industries.
Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses
are delivered in an online format.

Electronic Commerce is a concentration under the title of Business
Administration. This curriculum is designed to prepare
individuals for a career in the Internet economy.
Course work includes topics related to electronic business,

as planning, technical systems, marketing, security, finance,
law, design, implementation, assessment and policy issues at
an entry level.
