Undergraduate

About the Program

In our business program, you won’t simply memorize jargon and facts; you will develop strong analytical and group project skills by working with case studies representing situations you may face on the job. This process ultimately prepares you to adapt to the rapidly changing business environment.

Concentrations

Business Administration majors must select a concentration.

  • Finance

    Learn how to analyze the structure, functioning and regulation of domestic and global financial institutions; analyze interest rate behavior and monetary policy; and impact financial markets and major types of financial instruments.

  • General Business

    Take classes in all areas of business to become a well-rounded professional. This provides you with the flexibility to take classes that align with your specific career interests.

  • Management

    Good managers communicate and collaborate effectively to establish ethical principles in the business environment with people of diverse ethnic, cultural, gender and other backgrounds. They integrate management of people, processes and resources maximizing goal achievement in the global environment.

  • Marketing

    The marketing concentration teaches you how to evaluate current marketing concepts and apply the appropriate marketing mix to develop a sound marketing plan addressing various vertical markets such as retail, financial services and technology.

  • Bachelor's Accelerated Masters Program

    Current undergraduate students can apply for the “Bachelor’s Accelerated Master’s” (BAM) program, where students can enroll in graduate level courses while they are still completing their bachelor’s degree and put that credit toward a Master of Business Administration (MBA) through The University of Olivet.
