Business Administration Department
Department of Business Administration and Economics offers several programs for students majoring in business. As part of a Seventh-day Adventist college, the Department intends not only to prepare students successfully to meet the everyday challenges of a career in business, but also to prepare its graduates to be an effective Christian influence in their communities. To meet these goals, the Department offers several programs of study:
The B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Administration) is a professional degree designed for the student who intends to enter the job market upon completing the four-year program or to be well prepared for graduate studies. This program offers the following emphases: Accounting, Finance, General Business, Information Systems, International Business, Management, and Marketing.
The B.S. (Bachelor of Science) in Business Administration is designed for those who plan to enter a postgraduate or graduate program, specifically, in medicine, law, dentistry, or business. Since most graduates of such professional programs will ultimately have their own business, this degree is particularly useful for them.
The B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) program in Business Administration is a traditional curriculum for those interested in taking a program that includes study of a foreign language. This major requires fewer hours in business and affords more flexibility than do the B.B.A. and the B.S programs.
The Department also offers a two-year A.S. (Associate of Science) degree in Office Administration. The A.S. curriculum is structured so that a student may continue to complete the four-year B.B.A. program in Business Administration with emphasis in Administrative Services.
The preparation offered in the four-year programs (B.B.A., B.S., and B.A.) differs considerably. The first two years of the college program are similar enough however, that in the process of choosing a field for concentration, students have ample time to explore a variety of professions in consultation with departmental faculty and others. Many opportunities and avenues for service are thus (delete the word thus) available to students majoring in business.
Degree-Completion Program
Pacific Union College also offers an off-campus degree-completion
program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Management. See
