About the Major

Best College in Business

SUNY Oneonta’s Business Administration major provides a solid foundation for successful careers in business enterprises and other organizations. Building upon a strong liberal arts, sciences and economics base, the major emphasizes the management of organizations, supported by knowledge of the general business disciplines of accounting, marketing, law, finance and information systems.

Business Administration majors develop additional depth in the business disciplines through required courses, including organizational behavior, operations management, corporate social responsibility, information systems, and a capstone course in strategic management.

You'll have the option to advance your knowledge of the business domain beyond the core curriculum by pursuing concentrations in marketing, finance, green supply chain management and non-CPA accounting.

We do not use teaching assistants as instructors in our courses; all classes are taught by full-time faculty whose focus is on their functional area of training.

Outside the Classroom

You'll also have opportunities to develop and demonstrate business-related skills through experiential earning activities outside the classroom, including competitions, research projects, internships, professionally relevant extracurricular activities and study abroad programs.

Requirements for Declaring the Major

The Business Administration major is open to all new and current students who have a 2.0 grade-point average and grades of "C" or better in courses required for the major, and who follow the prescribed course sequences.

Profiles

Vito Giambanco
From the time senior Vito Giambanco was little, helping out at his family’s pizzeria on Long Island, he has been fascinated with businesses, how they work and how they thrive. As a Business Economics major at SUNY Oneonta, Vito’s passion for business has only grown, because he now knows why things work the way they do.
Bobby Lang
There isn’t much on campus that senior Business Economics and Marketing major Bobby Lang isn’t involved in, from research to clubs to volunteer work. With tons of real-world, hands-on experiences under his belt, he’s getting ready to tackle his biggest dream yet: becoming a marketer in the world of sports.
Martin Perina
SUNY Oneonta and the business major absolutely helped to get me where I am now. Not just the classes, the classes, of course, are important, but also the networking. You meet a lot of people, and networking, I would say, is one of the most important things when people want to do business. If I hadn’t been here, I wouldn’t be expanding the company to New York at first, but this is such a great location and there’s so much opportunity here.
