BA/BS in Business Administration, Management and Operations

Business administration at Ohio Wesleyan teaches students how to plan, organize, direct, and oversee business operations in a global and changing economy. The program is unusual for a national liberal arts college, pairing business training with broad academic study. The school describes its approach as distinct from that of a large university. Classes are demanding, professors are close at hand, and students gain practical experience. Graduates are meant to leave with business knowledge plus abilities employers seek: analysis, sound judgment, communication, creativity, collaboration, and an international outlook. Those same abilities help aspiring entrepreneurs. Students receive support finding internships and externships, which are brief shadowing placements. Those in business-related majors have studied Wall Street, markets in France, and accounting practice in Australia through travel-learning courses, and some have attended events such as the Forbes Under 30 Summit.
