Business Administration

Overview

Students pursuing a Business Administration program from John Cabot University are required to take business-related courses that balance theory with practice, in addition to courses from other disciplines, such as economics, finance, law, or even mathematics aimed at promoting critical thinking in future business leaders. Small class sizes permit most of the upper-level courses to focus on active learning through class discussion and teamwork and allow for an excellent interaction between students and professors with a careful attention to an individual student’s needs. All courses emphasize the importance of clear and accurate communication, both written and oral, and require projects, reports, and/or formal presentations. Professors regularly invite renowned guest speakers from the world of business to talk to their students.

The final course of the business program is a capstone course in Strategic Management. This course is taken by students in their senior year to integrate the principles, concepts, and techniques developed in earlier core courses. In this course, they test their understanding of business theory and practice by analyzing an underperforming company and proposing a new strategy to bring the company back to health. Strategic Management makes extensive use of the case-study method of teaching.
