The Business Administration major is offered through the John E. Simon Department of Accounting, Business Administration, Economics and Management Information Systems .  Course work is designed to study the nature and complexity of organized commercial and not-for-profit activities, preparing students for service to society, the organization and self.

The major develops an appreciation for the role of business in society, the moral and ethical dimensions of business, and the impact of diverse cultures on business operations. Students will learn to appreciate human interaction in the work environment, and the process of conceiving, planning, designing, and running a business enterprise. The major will develop an ability to analyze complex problems and make reasoned judgments, to understand and work with financial data, and to understand and use personal computers and computer systems. Finally, students will develop an ability to communicate effectively and work with others.

Business majors are well prepared for entry-level positions in a wide variety of organizations. In addition, graduate programs are available across the country for further study at the masters and doctoral levels. Students with graduate degrees find ready employment in business, education, research, and/or consulting.

Students must either have sophomore standing or be in their third semester as full-time Westminster students to enroll in any business course.
