Majoring in business administration is a great choice for anyone looking to analyze markets, organize resources, manage finances, motivate people, and manage an enterprise to meet its goals.

Those just happen to be all the things you need to run your own business, too.

No matter your particular interest - finance, marketing, human resources, international business, or management - your studies in business administration provide you with exactly what recruiters and our alumni have identified as most important: solid and critical business skills that you can take with you as your career interests evolve and change.

Why Business Administration at Saint Joseph's College?

Personal attention: You will receive the kind of personal attention and guidance in your studies and career search that is unmatched at larger institutions.

Broad-based skills designed for your future: Recruiters and alumni have made it clear they want graduates to be broadly skilled and prepared for a business world in constant flux. Your studies at SJC are designed with that kind of future in mind - to give you skills firms are clamoring for in college graduates. (In other words, you won't be forced into deep and narrow subjects you may not use as your interests change and career evolves.)

Great flexibility: Choose your specialty - finance, human resources management, international business, management, or marketing. Or create a custom concentration that best suits your interests. Faculty advisers work with you to tailor your program schedule when necessary.
