Business Administration
Business administration majors develop a solid foundation in the business disciplines and acquire academic and social capabilities necessary for successful careers. The professional concentrations in accounting, actuarial science, business analytics, digital marketing, financial planning, esports and gaming administration, entrepreneurship and innovation, healthcare administration, management and leadership, sales and marketing, sports administration, and specialized business build on this base using casework, presentations, and simulations which involve both individual and collaborative activities.
Students are required to complete 43 semester hours of the business core, including 4 semester hours of business internship or experiential learning coursework. In addition, the major requires completion of 18-30 semester hours chosen from one of the 12 business concentrations: accounting, actuarial science, business analytics, digital marketing, financial planning, esports and gaming administration, entrepreneurship and innovation, healthcare administration, management and leadership, sales and marketing, sports administration, and specialized business. A minimum of 18 semester hours in the major must be taken at Coker University. A student must obtain an average grade point average of at least 2.0 over all courses taken in the major.
At least four hours of internship or experiential learning coursework in a business environment is required in the Business Administration major. Approval of the Dean of the School of Business is required prior to registration for these courses.
