Business Administration – Management Concentration

The Business Administration major with a Management Concentration offers students the most popular and flexible option within the departmental majors.  In addition to requiring foundational courses in economics, accounting, finance, business law, marketing, computer applications for business, and management, the program allows students to select from among over a dozen upper level elective options taught by experienced faculty.  In most of these courses, students polish their communication skills through required presentations, research papers, and team projects.

PC’s Business Administration majors are well-versed in the applications of technology to the business world.  Many classes incorporate the use of computers and technology in creative ways, encouraging students not only to understand the mechanics of using technology but also the impact of technology on people.  Jacobs Hall, home of the Department of Economics and Business Administration, houses a PC computer lab and a teaching theater.  These facilities are available to students most of the day to give them opportunities to apply their computer skills through using Excel applications, Capsim simulation, and more course-specific software.

The Business Administration major fits comfortably within the context of Presbyterian College’s liberal arts education philosophy.   Our students benefit from the solid foundation gained from a broad-based liberal arts education, which many centuries have proved to be an effective way to educate young people. They also take a concentration of courses that will prepare them for success in a variety of business careers and will make them attractive to employers – all within a distinctively Christian context.
