Linamen, Ed.D., Chair Faculty Associate Professors: Buegler, Linamen, Strand Assistant Professor: West Instructors: Lamb, Revenaugh, Simmons Objectives: The department of business administration offers five curricular empha ses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with concentrations in accounting, finance , marketing, business management and computer information systems. The program is structured to give the student broad understanding of the social and economic environment in which Chris tian business persons function , and provides a common body of knowledge for students who select this major. Students study eco nomics , finance, management, business law, accounting, and marketing as the core of the major based upon quantitative management skills. The five individual emphases prepare students through additional specifi ed 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, technicallycompetent 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 organizations they may serve.
