Lecturer: William Troy
The Bachelor of Arts in Business has a strong interdisciplinary focus. The curriculum adheres to a philosophy that effective decision-making requires a broad understanding of institutional and cultural climate within which businesses are operating. The program utilizes the resources of Manchester’s business community and its economic strengths. During the first two years of study, students take introductory classes in business administration, economics, accounting, business statistics and information systems along with elective and discovery Program courses. The intermediate business core includes required courses in marketing, organizational behavior and financial or operations management. Additionally, students choose an option of focused study either in Accounting and Finance, Business Economics and Political Economy, Business and Technology, Management, Marketing,or Human Resource Management.. For students with a unique interest, the opportunity also exists to create a Self-Designed concentration with approval of his/her advisor and the Coordinator of the Business program.
A culminating capstone experience enables students to apply their knowledge in the form of an internship, applied senior project, or special topics seminar. Because this is a Bachelor of Arts program, students fulfill the foreign language requirement.
