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.
