About This Major
Why This Major Is Relevant
With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, a significant part of the U.S. labor force will be retiring over the next decade. As a result, businesses in both the public and private sectors are anticipating major staffing shortages. This presents an opportunity for business administration majors to step up and fill in the gap.
APU’s business administration degree uniquely positions graduates to take advantage of plentiful jobs, generous compensation, and opportunities for rapid advancement.
Gain In-Depth Learning Experiences
APU business faculty remain connected to businesses in their areas of expertise, and often provide internship contacts for business economics students. Additionally, the School of Business offers multiple venues for resume-building, such as Students in Free Enterprise, Winter Family Fiesta, and the Council for Business Students. These provide practical opportunities to apply classroom learning and ensure that business economics students graduate with significant experience on their resumes.
For those who wish to complete an MBA immediately upon graduation, the School of Business offers the Young Executive MBA Program, a rigorous, internship-based MBA program that allows students to complete their master’s degree in one additional year.
