圣约翰大学

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Business is designed to provide a high-quality business education to students at St. John’s University. The program is general, rather than focused, allowing students to select seven advanced courses from any one of the disciplines in the Tobin College of Business, after completion of the business core. Students are able to tailor their programs to their specific interests and skills, and to defer specialization to their graduate program. It offers the flexibility for students to participate in one or more of our noteworthy experiential courses, to broaden their hands-on business experience.

The program provides faculty and students a shared understanding of the purpose of majoring in business and what graduating seniors are expected to know or to be able to do at the end of their course of study. The program’s objectives, which are assessed to determine whether students are achieving the outcomes, include the following:

• Students are skilled in critical thinking and decision making, as supported by the appropriate use of analytical and quantitative techniques.
• Students can apply functional area concepts and theories appropriately.
• Students are effective communicators who can prepare and deliver oral and written presentations using appropriate technologies.
• Students are sensitive to the ethical requirements of business activities.
• Students can tackle strategic and organizational challenges with innovative solutions.

Career Outcomes

Careers in business are the fastest growing and most in-demand of all careers due to fact that business is one of the most flexible disciplines available and business skills have a place in nearly every industry. The business major will increase your opportunity for employment and offer room for advancement within business careers.

Careers for business majors fall into one (or a combination) of three primary categories: financial, management, and marketing. People with business degrees may become human resources managers, accountants, market research analysts, insurance underwriters, and more. Many of these business careers are not only attainable but are projected to grow faster than other occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Because many business careers require the same skill sets, any of the careers listed above may naturally lead to another, though some additional training, experience, or education may be required for a smoother transition. The transferable nature of these employment opportunities ensures that any person pursuing a major in business has a number of options for their future employment, which could translate into job security and career success.
