George Fox’s management concentration within our business administration major incorporates classes designed to help you develop the management and leadership principles you will need to be an effective leader in any number of business enterprises. You will study strategic management, principles in managerial accounting, business law, principles of macroeconomics, and much more.
And, as is true with all our business programs, you will delve into the ethics behind good business practice, as we firmly believe that character development is critical to forming trustworthy leaders.
Upon graduating, you will be prepared for a professional career or for graduate training in business or other areas. Our graduates have gone on to earn their MBAs, start their own companies, and become successful executives in all sectors of business.
