Master of Business Administration Core Courses
MBA Core Courses
| The Big Picture |
| The definition of business administration incorporates two primary functions: management and decision-making. In order to perform these duties effectively, an administrator must have broad knowledge on the organization’s internal and external factors; in other words, the manager must possess a thorough understanding of the business itself and the market(s) in which that business competes. |
