The business administration major includes a concentration in international business courses. These courses, combined with the liberal arts curriculum at Alderson Broaddus, provide an excellent foundation for the practice of business in a rapidly changing world. Your specialized studies will prepare you for business today, and your broad base of liberal arts courses will help you develop as a well-educated business person who can continue to learn and to advance in the future. Students also have the opportunity to further develop their knowledge of other cultures through the international studies program at AB, which offers a full semester in Europe and shorter sessions in other parts of the world.
Discover Your Interests & Abilities
The business administration major is an excellent program if you want to major in business but are not certain which type of job is the best for you. You will begin by taking basic business courses in the first few semesters. These introductory courses, along with counseling from your experienced and helpful faculty, will help you discover how your interests and abilities can best fit into the business world.
Personal & Individual Attention From Experienced and Caring Faculty
Faculty with excellent academic backgrounds and business experience are committed to creating a high-quality learning experience for business students.
