Business Administration, B.A.
45 Credits | Main Campus
An interdisciplinary approach to understanding sustainability, diversity, and consumerism in todays world
The business administration program prepares students for 21st century organizations. The Bachelor of Arts degree program addresses real world issues such as sustainability, multi-cultural, diverse organizations, as well as questioning our consumer driven economy. In addition, the program provides an overview of current management theories and core functional expertise. Four specific themes are emphasized across the curriculum. These include a.) sustainability and globalization, b.) diversity and inclusion, c.) ethical decision making, and d.) leadership. In keeping with Trinity values, students will be encouraged to reflect, assess and develop their own leadership potential.
The business administration program is based on a cumulative four-year program and supports both a major and minor degree. During their first two years, students may begin introductory survey courses in business, management, organizational behavior, leadership, and economic theories. During years three and four, students will focus on specialized topics including strategy, change, globalization, business/government/society relations, culture, and ethics.
Students will select from three concentrations:
- Business Operations and Data Analytics
- Global Business and Sustainability
- Finance and Accounting
Given the emphasis on critical thinking, writing, and presentation, this degree is intended to prepare the student for a range of potential career paths, including business, non-profit, and public organizations as well as the pursuit of a graduate degree. A required internship during the program supports individual professional skill development.
