Business Administration - BS/MBA

Program Overview:

The Business Administration major emphasizes building the verbal and written communication skills that are so important to success in the student’s professional career. Throughout the program, students build a portfolio of business plans and presentations, thus developing their professional resume. The major requires all students to complete an approved internship or field-study option prior to graduation.

All business students develop a comprehensive understanding in the various functional areas of business by completing the Business Administration Core. Each student has the opportunity to select a specific concentration of five courses within a specialized area of business. Concentrations include: Accounting and Auditing, Finance, Financial Planning, Managerial Accounting, Small Business and Entrepreneurship; or students may develop their own Individualized concentration with the assistance of a faculty advisor.

Normally, once a student has matriculated in the Business Administration major at The College of Saint Rose, he or she must satisfy all remaining core and concentration requirements with Saint Rose courses. Likewise, students pursuing a Business Administration minor must satisfy all requirements for the minor with Saint Rose courses.
