Business Administration Major

Bethany's Business Administration major ties the concepts of liberal arts to a comprehensive business program emphasizing Christian stewardship. As a student, you will gain a thorough foundation in accounting, finance, marketing, management, and economics. In addition, you will examine current ethical, social, political, and economic challenges that play a role in the work environment. Case studies and practicums provide a practical opportunity to hone your communication and critical thinking skills, attributes that are sought by employers. A focus on stewardship of time, talents, and treasures throughout the program of study prepares business graduates for leadership roles in both profit and non-profit organizations, the church, and the community.

Students can tailor the business major to complement their strengths and interests by choosing an emphasis in one or more of the following areas: Finance, Marketing Research, Consumer Marketing, Public Relations, Marketing Management, Human Resources, or Sports Administration.

Opportunities for a Bethany Business Administration major graduate abound. For example, the student could choose a career as a credit analyst, mortgage loan closer, financial service consultant, audit analyst, small business manager, human resource manager, insurance account executive, public relations coordinator, marketing analyst, advertising account executive, event marketing, promotional marketing manager, facilities manager, or project coodinator manager.
