Business administration
Built on the General Education foundation informed by Saint Martin's
Catholic Benedictine heritage and values, Business and Economics offers
a unified business program that integrates the separate functional areas
of business. Acknowledging the technological innovation,
ever-changing global marketplace and challenged eco-systems currently
shaping the world, the Business Administration Program offers students
an opportunity to learn and practice general management skills, discover
the need for ethical decision-making and acquire functional business
area expertise.
 Through
practice and active learning, students also gain the ability to work
cooperatively in diverse teams. They become effective writers and
speakers, and they demonstrate sharpened critical thinking skills and
professional judgment.
Students graduate with a broad perspective on the business world and its
place in our culture. Saint Martin's graduates have the ability to work
across business functions, adjust quickly to new situations, accept
change and ambiguity as a natural part of life, and become enthusiastic
lifelong learners.
The University's business administration
program provides:
-
A rigorous yet supportive educational
environment
-
A faculty with extensive experience as
educators and as business professionals.
-

receive individual attention.
