Liberal Arts: Business Administration Major

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration faculty come to AUR from diverse educational, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and from various parts of the world. Some are life-long scholars and researchers. Others are business people who leave their offices to share their real-world experience with our Business Majors in our classrooms. Several are former managers who have become full-time academics.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration curriculum provides a broad, professional foundation in all functional areas of business. Business Majors follow a structured, organic core curriculum that introduces them to the various functions (marketing, finance, operations, accounting) of business, provides them with the quantitative tools (statistics, computer science, economics, decision science) necessary to understand and interpret data, and introduces them to prevailing management theories and paradigms as well as issues related to legal and ethical concerns in the business arena. Upper-level courses incorporate case analyses, group projects, and creative problem-solving. All Business Majors take the capstone course, Strategic Management, in their last spring semester, which is a dynamic, seminar-style, case-based application of the tools and concepts acquired in the first three years of study.
