General Education Curriculum
The Business Administration Major is designed to give students maximum flexibility in their careers. Business Administration students are exposed to business functions such as accounting, marketing, finance, human resource management, production/operation, project management, and information systems. Since most professionals change jobs many times during their careers, the skills taught allow an individual to adapt to rapid changes in a technologically dynamic global marketplace. Students have the opportunity to develop their business management and entrepreneurial skills, while also preparing to lead organizations through innovation and change. The Recreation program shares courses with students throughout the UMS system to expand their experience in recreation locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally.
Students will select one of the following concentrations to further specialize within the Business Administration Major: Accounting, Leadership, Project Management, Outdoor Recreation, Hospitality, Tourism, Marketing, or Sport Management.
