Major in Business Administration
As a graduate of Cal Lutheran's business administration program, you can target professional careers in corporate or non-profit management, finance, international business, small business entrepreneurship, information technology management, or marketing; or you may gain admission to law or other graduate and professional schools.
At Cal Lutheran, you don't just learn about business, you learn how to do business. Students learn the "nuts and bolts" of a business career and the skills required of successful executives: effective writing, strong presentation skills, critical thinking, and computer & information literacy enhanced with an emphasis on ethics and business. When you leave CLU with a bachelor of science degree in business administration you begin your career with a distinct competitive advantage!
Business administration majors pursue a bachelor of science degree, that includes a managerial core and an area of emphasis requirement (business economics, finance, information technology management, international business, management, small business entrepreneurship, or marketing), as well as a required course in ethics.
Students also benefit significantly from the program's average class size of 17. Unlike their counterparts in many of the nation's large university programs, CLU students will get all the classes they need, graduate on time, and know their professors well enough to be assured of personal, knowledgeable recommendations for their job search or graduate applications.
Students benefit from CLU's on-campus research and service-oriented centers and institutes-including the Economic Research Center, and the CLU Center for Leadership and Values-as well as our faculty's ongoing working relationships and close connections to the vast world of business and industry in Thousand Oaks and the larger Southern California communities.
