Business Administration
(Human Resources) B.S.


The program leading to the Bachelor of Science in business administration is based upon a philosophy of total student development. Students choosing this degree program are provided with an education that stresses an interdisciplinary approach. They are exposed to all aspects of the complex and changing business environment with a specific emphasis upon social, cultural, and political factors.

The total development objective creates a program blending a business education with that of the liberal arts. All students choosing a degree in business administration take a common core of nine courses such as Principles of Management, Marketing, E-Commerce, and a capstone course called Business Policy and Strategic Planning. Additional courses are required in economics, business math, computer information systems, English, social sciences, and humanities.

Business administration majors choose a course concentration selecting management, marketing, education, sports management, or human resources. Each concentration carries an additional five-course specialization so that the major will require a total of fourteen business courses. The program includes sufficient electives to allow students the option of a dual or triple concentration if they plan their program of study carefully. In addition, the liberal arts component provides a sound foundation for both behavioral and quantitative business majors through the broadening of the students' social and cultural backgrounds.

In all organizations, there is a need for competent individuals who can address emerging issues in a global economy. Regardless of which concentration is chosen, the Indiana Tech business degree provides students with the knowledge, coupled with the verbal and written skills, that will prepare them for entry into this global economy.
