OBJECTIVES The Department of Business Administration offers six curricular emphases leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with concentrations in accounting, advertising, finance, marketing, management and computer information systems. Each program is structured to give the student broad understanding of the social and economic environment in which Christian business persons function, and provides a common body of knowledge for students who elect this major. Students study economics, finance, man­ agement, business law, accounting, and marketing as the core of the major based upon quantitative management skills. The six individual emphases prepare students through additional specified courses to enter a career field in those areas, or to select a graduate school upon graduation. It is the purpose of the department to prepare highly skilled, technically compe­ tent business persons who have broad preparation in the liberal arts as well, and who can make significant contributions in the world of work or in Christian organi­ zations they may serve.
