The department of business administration and economics offers programs designed to provide an understanding of economics, business and accounting, and their relationship to life in our society.

The courses give special attention to the problems of managing small organizations, both profit and nonprofit, and to providing students with a practical educational program that emphasizes leadership, innovation and responsible stewardship.

This program is based on the philosophy that the best way to develop the creative problem-solving skills needed for a career in business is to combine solid exposure to a broad liberal arts program with selected studies in a particular area of business.
