Business Administration Advanced Diploma to the Bachelor of Administration Degree Transfer Program
Program Information
You enter into the final year of the three-year Bachelor of Administration program and can complete your degree in as little as eight months. You are not required to complete makeup courses!
The Bachelor of Administration program serves those students interested in obtaining a broad-based business education with an emphasis on general administration and entrepreneurship. This program provides a reasonable time frame for individuals employed full-time, seeking to complete a business degree on a part-time basis. Courses in this program are scheduled in the evenings, on a rotating basis, to permit students to take courses outside of regular work hours. For these reasons the program provides a vital service and linkage to the local business community.
The curriculum includes learning experiences in:
- General knowledge and skill areas from communication abilities and ethical and analytical understanding abilities to information technology use and reflective understanding of diversity issues.
- Management-specific knowledge and skill areas that include ethical and legal responsibilities, financial theories, market analytics, value creation through integrated production and marketing of goods, services, and information, group and individual dynamics in organizations, statistical data analysis and management science in support of decision-making processes, the influence of information technologies on the structure and processes of organizations and economies and the roles and techniques of management, and the domestic and global economic environments of organizations.
