Business Administration
Students in DeVry's Business Administration program develop competency in applying technology to business strategy, management and decision-making through case studies, team projects, Internet use and web page development, as well as computer applications and systems integration. Majors (concentrations in Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania) are offered in Accounting, Business Information Systems, Finance, Health Services Management, Hospitality Management, Human Resource Management, Operations Management, Project Management, Sales and Marketing, Security Management, Small Business Management & Entrepreneurship, and Technical Communication. Availability of majors/concentrations varies by location. In addition, general business options are available in lieu of a specific major/concentration.
Students who have not chosen an area of specialization may begin the program in "Undeclared" status; however, they must select a major/concentration or general business option plan by the time they have earned, at DeVry, 30 semester-credit hours toward their degree.
