The Department of Business Administration at the Institute is created to address the issues of business and management in different cultural contexts. The primary mission of the Department is to educate students in small, interactive classes where they can learn, acquire skills, and form attitudes and values appropriate for leading and serving in a global society. It strives to do this in the context of a friendly and caring learning community. The programs in Business Administration build on the Institute strengths in cross-cultural expertise and service traditions and prepare men and women for management and professional positions in for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations.
