Purpose
The purpose of the Business Administration program is to prepare students through a progressive discipline for careers in management and administrative positions in the private, nonprofit, and public sectors. The management curriculum is designed to provide students with the tools to pursue professional careers in management of operating units or groups and more specialized areas such as human resources management. Students who pursue an education in management information systems (MIS) will develop an understanding of the integration of information systems technologies into various business units.

If not granted admission prior to the beginning of the next semester, the student will be dropped from the 300 or 400 level COB courses.
Application to the College of Business
Applications cannot be submitted until grades for all courses required for admission are recorded on the student’s DARS. Then to begin the application process, students must first read the Academic Integrity Policy.
Applications for admission to the College of Business will be reviewed and processed by Kim Vogen after grades have been posted by the Registrar’s Office. Confirmation of admission will be sent using WSU e-mail addresses to each student majoring or minoring in the College of Business. After completing the form, please allow approximately two weeks processing time.
Once you have been admitted, your Degree Audit Report (DARS) will switch from a pre-major to your major area of study.
