Administration Department Mission
The Business Administration curriculum will assist in
preparing students for leadership roles in an increasingly complex global
economy. Our program recognizes the importance of studying liberal arts while
developing professional business related skills. As students progress through
our program, their ability to think creatively, critically and ethically will
be enhanced. They will be encouraged to work collaboratively with others in a
variety of settings. Through such a foundation, students will be better
prepared to contribute positively to their local and global business
communities.
The Business Administration degree will provide exposure to
the total business organization through the presentation of functional and
human skills based coursework. Particular emphasis will be placed on diversity,
ethics and international issues. This broad-based exposure will be fine-tuned
by coursework within an area of specialization chosen by the student.
Specialization related cooperative work experiences will supplement a student’s
classroom knowledge, build professional interpersonal skills, develop liaisons
with the local business community, and provide concrete, resume building work
experience.
Key to a student’s success in this integrated learning
curriculum is assuming an active role in his or her own education and
understanding that learning is a lifelong process. Daemen College business
faculty will be available to encourage and mentor students while providing the
initial foundation for this process. Students will be prepared and encouraged
to continuously grow personally and professionally.
