Vision Statement
Birmingham-Southern College’s department of business administration will be built on
the distinction of teaching organizational leadership and management in a traditional
liberal arts setting. The department will be dedicated to fostering a collaborative learning
community that nurtures and develops students and which is driven by entrepreneurial
thinking, global and cultural awareness and ethical practice.
Upon completion of the business administration major, students will be able to
•
recognize an unmet need in the marketplace and assemble a strategy to fill that
need
•
analyze and synthesize the elements of a situation, formulate alternatives, and
recommend an implementable course of action
•
recognize differences in domestic and international values and cultures
•
demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in the functional areas of business (i.e.,
management, marketing, and finance)
•
integrate knowledge of the business functional areas within the context of their
liberal arts education
•
demonstrate an ethical foundation and practice professional responsibility
•
construct convincing arguments in both oral and written form
