Bachelor
of Science in Business Administration
The business
administration program is a broad-based business degree. The students
have the option to choose one or more emphases in business economics,
entrepreneurship, finance, management, marketing, and international
business. The program combines a liberal arts education with strong
professional training to give the best possible preparation for
a career in business, in profit and not-for-profit organizations,
in the regional, national, and international communities.
The business administration degree produces students prepared to
use the basic tools in accounting, economics, finance, management,
marketing, and quantitative methods. The students learn to communicate
in an understandable and effective manner both verbally and in writing.
The program provides an integrated knowledge of the different functional
areas of business in order to solve the increasingly complex problems
facing businesses today.
Graduates also develop an awareness of the operation of basic institutions
of the American economy and American business and how these institutions
compare and interact with those of other countries.
Additionally, students gain an understanding of the contemporary
ethical issues confronting the business sector. They are also provided
opportunities to become familiar with the latest technologies being
used by businesses. Students who wish to obtain career guidance,
discuss the content and goals of specific courses, and other topics
can talk with faculty members formally or informally. It is important,
however, that students contemplating one of the programs in the
Argyros School of Business and Economics obtain a faculty advisors
help. Course work from other institutions must be reviewed and accepted
by the School of Business and Economics to satisfy requirements
for degrees.
Students pursuing the business administration degree must attain
at least a 2.0 (C) grade point average in all required work. In
addition, they must receive at least a C- in each of the lower-division
and upper-division core courses. All required courses are to be
taken for a letter grade. Students are required to complete a minimum
of 27 credit hours of the requirements offered through the Argyros
School of Business and Economics at Chapman University.
Students planning to pursue an undergraduate degree in the School
of Business and Economics will be tested for their math proficiency.
These students have to either successfully pass a test for Math
104 or take this course during their first year at Chapman. Freshman
students are also advised to take Bus 100 Introduction to Business
during their first semester.
