Dominican Announces Two New Business Programs
A new bachelor of arts in business administration with five distinct concentrations began this fall semester.
“The
BA in business administration uniquely prepares students for positions
of leadership in organizations located anywhere in the world,” said Liz
Capener, chair of undergraduate business programs at Dominican.
Students
in the program choose from five concentrations: management, marketing,
finance/accounting, e-business/management information systems,
and international business.
Courses in this degree
program present perspectives based on theory allied to practical
applications at use in the business world. The faculty scholars and
practitioners who teach in the program come with both a research and
business practice background, assuring students of a balanced exposure
to multiple viewpoints across their classroom experiences.
Students
are encouraged to participate in an internship, study abroad for a
semester, and engage in networking opportunities such as becoming an
active participant in the Dominican University of California Business
Association. An additional benefit of the flexible curriculum is that
students transferring from other accredited institutions can typically
complete the BA in business administration in two years.
In
spring 2005 Dominican will begin a new degree completion program in
Ukiah in cooperation with Mendocino College. This program will allow
students to complete two years of study at Mendocino and 2 years at
Dominican, earning a bachelor of arts in strategic management from
Dominican.
“This degree completion program is all about quality
and convenience,” said Lorrie Crivello, director of graduate and
Pathways admissions. “It blends classroom and online instruction, and
the semester is split into two convenient 8-week sessions.”
Depending
on the number of units transferred, program can be completed in 5 to 6
semesters. Classes will be held at Dominican’s Ukiah Center or
Mendocino College.
“The strategic management major is designed
for students who want to take their life and world experience to the
next level by earning a university degree with a business major,” said
Terry Ratcliff, executive director of adult and extended
education.
“The courses are designed to provide students
with a thorough grounding in classic business theory and knowledge,
while incorporating challenges such as managing change in a dynamic
economy,” Ratcliff said.
Anyone interesting in learning more
about either program should call the Admissions Office at Dominican
University of California, 415-485-3204.
