Business 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.
