Academic Programs
The mission of the Business Administration Division is to provide
young adults with a superior business and liberal arts education that
prepares them for lives of ethical service and professional
achievement in a competitive world.
The Business program at Seaver College is unusual in that it is embedded in
a college of arts, letters, and sciences. More than tolerating or
coexisting with the traditional goals of liberal baccalaureate
education, the division seeks to embrace fully a liberal arts
education as an essential component of the educated man or woman. To
paraphrase John Stuart Mill, persons are persons before they are
businesspersons; and if they are educated to become capable and
sensible persons, they will make themselves capable and sensible
businesspersons. The division expects its graduates to do well in
business, yet of most importance is that they do well as individuals
who are finding meaning and significance in life and are contributing
to making the world a better place. Our goal is to educate students
for ethical, fulfilling lives of service.
A Business Administration major is available
to prepare students for careers in accounting, business, or management, and
offers an excellent foundation for graduate work in business
administration.
An Accounting major is available for students
who plan to do graduate work in accounting or to enter the fields of public or
private accounting. This major involves more course work than the
other various emphases do.
An International Business major is available
for students who are specifically interested in global business careers. This major
requires some educational work abroad unless one is an international student.
A Contract major is also available for students
who wish to fine tune their academic pursuits and combine coursework across
multiple divisions.
All of our students are encouraged to tailor their
electives to match their interests. Special emphasis is currently available in
economics, computer science, marketing, management, and finance. The various
emphases allow students to prepare for entry-level jobs, while the
other business requirements ensure a broader background for future
professional advancement.
The
5-year BS/MBA program gives students the opportunity to earn
a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, International
Business, or Accounting and a Masters of Business Administration
(MBA) or an International Masters of Business Administration (IMBA)
in a total of five years.
