BADF - Bachelor of Science in Business Administration ~ Finance Concentration

The curriculum in business administration strives to emphasize three primary competencies - interpersonal, technological, and problem-solving skills. Interpersonal skills are critical to the interaction with and accomplishment of tasks through other people. Technology is ubiquitous in business, and familiarity with aspects of its capability is necessary to utilize it fully. Technology will be utilized in many aspects of course delivery as well as studied in a more formal setting (such as e-commerce). Managers and business owners must be able to solve problems; in order to do that more competently, potential frameworks for problem solving are presented and analysis is emphasized.

Throughout the curriculum, the small business perspective is primary. Ethical decision-making and the application of ethics to the business world are woven through the coursework as a manifestation of the development of character in business graduates. An important component of the program is the integration of theory and real world provided through case studies, participation in Argo Entrepreneurs activities, and cooperative work-education opportunities.

The University of Providence offers the Business Administration degree in a face-to-face modality. This program is offered in the traditional 16-week semester format. An online version of the program is currently not accepting new applicants.
