The business world is one of constant change. Employers today need broadly educated business leaders, and many of the jobs people will hold in the future do not yet exist. For these reasons, Newman University has created a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program with an emphasis on management in which students participate in a variety of educational and practical experiences to prepare them for management and leadership roles in a globally competitive marketplace.
Students completing this course of study will be well pr epared to enter into careers in both for profit and not-for-profit industries. Graduates will understand the importance of the roles managers fulfill as they perform the critical functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the resources of an organization. Their studies will enable them to heighten their personal awareness of and sharpen their skills in communication, problem solving, decision making, group processes, strategy development, leadership and ethical behavior.
In addition to classroom learning, Newman University’s diverse campus population allows students to be exposed to a variety of cultures and market needs. The knowledge gained from this interaction provides the basis for successful managers in a global economy who possess the skills necessary to secure the continued well-being and growth of the organization.
Values-based CurriculumThe BBA-Management program of study is much more than an applied liberal arts and sciences degree. The Newman program offers students a values-based curriculum that includes the study of business skills and abilities that give the Newman graduate a clear edge in the marketplace, and clear perspectives on living a principled life.
In addition, the program is based on Newman’s approach to business education as a carefully crafted blend of the liberal arts, core business knowledge, and concentrated study in a major. In the liberal arts the student builds a foundation of values, critical thinking skills, proficiency in mathematics and communication, and the ability to think in a rigorous, disciplined manner.
The School of Business core curriculum merges the liberal arts with applied knowledge in the basic operations of free market economies. The foundation areas consist of accounting, business law, ethics, economics, finance, marketing, international business, management, and production.
The major then focuses the student’s study on management itself, drawing on what was learned in both the liberal arts and business core. This combination prepares graduates for positions of increasing responsibility and leadership in today’s highly integrated global society. |
