The liberal arts business administration major at Austin College is somewhat unique. It emphasizes breadth of knowledge rather than specialization in a functional area. The departmental coursework introduces the major functions of business including accounting, finance, marketing, microeconomics and strategic management.
A major in business administration consists of a minimum of nine course credit units including Economics 111 and 301, Business Administration 261, 361, and 495, and at least four other courses in business administration or economics, one of which must be numbered 300 or above.
Economics 111 and Business Administration 261 are prerequisites for all other courses in business administration. A major also is required to take Mathematics 151 and either Social Science 120 or Mathematics 120. It is strongly recommended that students fulfill these quantitative requirements, as well as Economics 301, before taking Business Administration 361 or beginning the junior year, whichever comes first. Those students planning to enter an MBA program are strongly encouraged to take Economics 302 and Business Administration 262.
