Business Administration

MT Sierra College

Business Administration

With a presence in virtually every sector of the economy, Business Administration continues to be a heavily sought-after skill with a universal appeal. When you include the integration of technology into standard business practices, then you’ve moved into the business of today.

Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration have skills forged in hands-on labs and small classes taught by faculty with years of industry experience. General education courses selected for the applicability to business administration create the balance of courses. Studies in the technology challenges that face today’s businesses are what differentiate a Mt. Sierra graduate from the competition. The result: graduates who are prepared to take on national and global business needs, grounded in a fundamental and sound understanding of management and technology.

Another distinction that sets Mt. Sierra College graduates apart is their preparation. Challenging courses emulate future workplace tasks. When that first day on the job arrives, graduates have the confidence and skill to communicate effectively, evaluate strategies, and implement vision.

Depending upon the nature of the industry, size of the company and industry-specific knowledge required, graduates with the bachelor’s degree in Business Administration are equipped to enter the professional world as an entry to mid level Administrative Manager, Business or Office Manager, Management Analyst, Budget Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Sales Representative or Sales Manager to name a few.
