The Business Administration Major Professor: Frank Winfrey; Associate Professor: Garry Wann The Lyon College Business Administration major builds upon the foundation of the broad liberal arts education provided in the College’s Core Curriculum. The Business Administration major prepares one to understand the structure and role of organizations, administrative practices and processes, and the complex environmental context of business. The business curriculum introduces an array of concepts and theories, as well as quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques designed to prepare graduates for organizational leadership. The Business Administration major is composed of a set of business core courses followed by courses in one of three specialized tracks of study: human resource management, international business, and management. The business core courses are designed to introduce key functional concepts and skills. Each of the major tracks provides a significant opportunity for individuals to pursue interdisciplinary inquiry in conjunction with other majors at Lyon College, or to tailor the major around particular interests. The Business Administration major offers graduates the flexibility of choosing between entry-level managerial positions or advanced study. The major is particularly appropriate for individuals seeking advanced studies in business, law, and planning. Lyon is substantially revising its business administration major to include all essential disciplines—accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing—and to incorporate experiential learning. Students who are declared majors under the old major will be grandfathered through or may shift to the new major; other students may not declare the old major. The new major will be announced this year and implemented in the fall 2014.
