Undergraduate Programs in Business Administration
The business administration program prepares students for a variety of career opportunities. It provides students with a broad overall understanding of the different functional disciplines of business and prepares them for positions of responsibility in business organizations. A major in business administration is offered for those students wishing to minor in an area outside of business.
The Area in International Business program provides students with broad
based preparation for business careers with an international focus. The
internationally oriented courses in Murray State’s University Studies
program are augmented with a foreign language requirement and additional
studies in world geography, political science and economics. Students
also complete basic business classes as well as advanced international
courses in the major functional areas of business. Students are strongly
encouraged to complete a study abroad experience as part of this degree.
The Area in International Business degree prepares students for graduate
study in International MBA programs, entry level positions in firms with
existing international operations, entrepreneurial opportunities with
domestic firms wishing to expand to international markets and governmental
and/or non-governmental organizations whose focus is international trade
support or economic development.
