The Business Administration major/minor at Wisconsin Lutheran College is nested within the liberal arts and firmly founded in Christ. Students begin with general education requirements and introductory business courses. Once admitted to the program, students can choose an emphasis area in accounting, finance, management, marketing, international business, or general business.

The faculty members in the business administration program strive to develop students with skills in critical thinking, negotiating, analyzing, ethical decision making, and communicating; all of which are critical to a student’s future success as a Christian leader. Students are prepared to make an immediate contribution to an organization upon graduation. Business administration professors combine theoretical knowledge and research with real world examples.

Students can expect an active learning environment that consists of the analysis of real-life case studies, skills development, personal interaction with professors who have years of work experience outside academia, along with various possibilities for internships.
