Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

lAYINg THE fOUNDATION

The Bachelor of Science, Business Administration provides preparation for careers in business administration. Additionally, the program provides students with 1) a broad, liberal education, 2) a basic understanding of the operation of a business enterprise, 3) an understanding of the environment in which business exists and of which it is a part, 4) proficiency in analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing managerial decisions, and 5) a degree of specialized training in a selected area.The business administration degree program has four principle components: 1) English proficiency requirement, 2) prerequisites to the degree, 3) the business administration core, and 4) the concentration. The prerequisites, which overlap the general education program, provide the foundation upon which the degree is later constructed. Students should schedule these courses during their freshman and sophomore years. The Writing

REQUIREMENTS

1. Complete University general education requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree (51 units minimum).

2 Satisfy the College’s requirement for proficiency in English.3 Complete the degree requirements, including:

a) the prerequisites with a letter grade of C– or better b) the business administration core with a letter grade

of C– or better; and c) the course work in an area of concentration.

4 At least 50% of the upper-division Business Administration units required for the degree should be earned at CSU Stanislaus. This requirement exceeds the University-wide requirement described elsewhere in this catalog.

5 3000- and 4000- level business courses may not be taken until the student has achieved junior level standing.

Proficiency requirement (BUS 3100 Business and Technical Writing [WP]) is important for all business courses and should be completed in the junior year. The business administration core is a closely coordinated sequence of courses which introduces students to the broad field of business administration, develops knowledge of the organizational and management concepts which underlie the operation of all business enterprises, and develops effective ways of thinking about complex situations encountered in business administration. Except for the integrating course in business policy, which must be taken as the last course in the business administration core, students should schedule most courses in the core during their junior year. The area of concentration provides the opportunity for specialized study in a selected area of interest. Concentrations currently available are under the degree requirements listed below.

Students planning to receive a degree in

Business Administration should emphasize general education

during the first two years, thus laying a

foundation upon which the program can be built. In addition, the

specified prerequisites to the degree should

be completed.

COURSE pREREQUISITES

Most courses within the College of Business Administration have specific subject matter prerequisites for enrollment. Students must complete all specified prerequisites (or their equivalents) in order to qualify for enrollment in these courses. Students who have not successfully completed the specified prerequisites for a course, but who can offer convincing evidence of having acquired the necessary background by other means, may petition the professor in charge of the course for permission to enroll. At the discretion of the College, a qualifying examination may be required.

Marketing focuses on creating value in the exchange relationship between the firm and the markets it serves. As such, marketing plays a pivotal role in connecting customers and stakeholders to a business and in building long-term relationships with these individuals or groups. Fundamentally, marketers must be able to see and understand the world from their customers’ perspective. This requires specific marketing activities including the measurement and interpretation of market forces, cultivation of market opportunities, development of products and/or services to match market opportunities, marketing communications, advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, sales management, direct marketing, and e-marketing. Marketing also requires conscious choice regarding social responsibility and corporate ethics.

A minor is a pattern of prescribed coursework in a given discipline consisting of a minimum of 8 upper-division semester units and a minimum of 15 semester units in courses acceptable to the minor advisor.

Most minors require 15-18 units. One minor that relates to Business Administration students and is right here in the College of Business is the Computer Information Systems Minor (See Pages 40–41). Other minors that relate: Art, Economics, Psychology, Spanish, and Speech Communication.
