CUA Business and Economics Department Home Page

The Department of Business and Economics offers two different programs: a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration prepares students by teaching general management preparation, combined with an opportunity to specialize in a specific field of business. The Bachelor of Art in Economics provides a professional education in economic analysis and its application to both private and public sectors of the economy. Economic theory and historical perspective are applied to multifaceted social and political issues and the economic factors affecting them.

 

CUA's Department of Business allows students to choose their specific area of study in Accounting, Economics, Financial Management, International Economics and Finance, Management, Management of Information Systems, and Marketing. A business degree prepares students for graduate studies in business or law.
