Small business administration classes make learning personal
Business Administration teaches you how to run a business, whether it’s a startup in your basement or a branch of a multinational corporation. From motivating people to operations management to analyzing complex data for decision making, we cover it all.
You’ll take liberal arts courses along with business courses, a combination that gives you both the business knowledge base and the excellence in soft skills and communication employers seek.

Professors who’ve been there
Business Administration professors use real stories from their years of working for businesses, government, and not-for-profit organizations in Florida and around the world to enliven classroom discussions.
Get an early start
At many schools, students don’t take Business Administration classes until their last two years. Not here. You’ll start taking classes in your major in your first year.
In Their Own Words
“Studying Business Administration at Eckerd was special due to the outstanding faculty and the autonomy I was given within my major. I was able to discuss career goals with my professors regularly and tailor my work in my business classes to better support my future career.”
